X50 field & runways
Massey Ranch Airpark, New Smyrna Beach, Florida. Field elevation 11 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 7.0°W on record, 7.3°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 0.071°/year west — about 1° every 14 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
| Runway | True | Magnetic | Number | Length | Surface | Pattern | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 18 | 173.7° | 181.0° | matches rule gives runway 19 in ~56 yr | 4,360 ft | ASPH | left | |
| 36 | 353.7° | 1.0° | matches rule gives runway 1 in ~56 yr | 4,360 ft | ASPH | left |
