PAVD field & runways
Valdez Pioneer Fld, Valdez, Alaska. Field elevation 128 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 19.0°E on record, 15.2°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 0.276°/year west — about 1° every 4 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
