3KS5 field & runways
High Point, Valley Center, Kansas. Field elevation 1395 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Private use.
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 0.073°/year west — about 1° every 14 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
