KSQL field & runways
San Carlos, San Carlos, California. Field elevation 6 ft. Class D airspace. Towered. Magnetic variation 15.0°E on record, 12.8°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 0.089°/year west — about 1° every 11 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
