KMCF field & runways
Macdill AFB, Tampa, Florida. Field elevation 14 ft. Class D airspace. Towered. Private use. Magnetic variation 6.0°W on record, 6.2°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.
