KAPS field & runways
Port Of South Louisiana Exec Rgnl, Reserve, Louisiana. Field elevation 6 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 1.0°W on record, 1.3°W today.
The FAA's variation of record is the number this field was surveyed against; the second is where north points now, from WMM2025. It is moving 0.08°/year west — about 1° every 12 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
