W50 field & runways
Davis, Laytonsville, Maryland. Field elevation 609 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 9.0°W on record, 10.7°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 0.009°/year east — about 1° every 111 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
| Runway | True | Magnetic | Number | Length | Surface | Pattern | Notes |
