KMQS field & runways
Chester County G O Carlson, Coatesville, Pennsylvania. Field elevation 660 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 11.0°W on record, 11.5°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 0.023°/year east — about 1° every 43 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
| Runway | True | Magnetic | Number | Length | Surface | Pattern | Notes |
