Y47 field & runways
Oakland Southwest, New Hudson, Michigan. Field elevation 926 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 7.0°W on record, 7.2°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 0.005°/year west — about 1° every 200 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
