KBOS field & runways
General Edward Lawrence Logan Intl, Boston, Massachusetts. Field elevation 19 ft. Class B airspace. Towered. Magnetic variation 15.0°W on record, 13.9°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 0.071°/year east — about 1° every 14 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
