KBFM field & runways
Mobile Intl, Mobile, Alabama. Field elevation 26 ft. Class D airspace. Towered. Magnetic variation 1.0°W on record, 2.9°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 0.077°/year west — about 1° every 13 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
