PABA field & runways
Barter Island, Barter Island, Alaska. Field elevation 55 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 18.0°E on record, 15.7°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 0.459°/year west — about 1° every 2 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
