56AL field & runways
Beechwood Airpark, Athens, Alabama. Field elevation 647 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 0.061°/year west — about 1° every 16 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
