KLAX field & runways
Los Angeles Intl, Los Angeles, California. Field elevation 128 ft. Class B airspace. Towered. Magnetic variation 12.0°E on record, 11.3°E 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 0.078°/year west — about 1° every 13 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
