3CK field & runways
Lake In The Hills, Chicago/Lake In The Hills, Illinois. Field elevation 887 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 2.0°W on record, 3.7°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 0.031°/year west — about 1° every 32 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
