CO12 field & runways
Van Aire, Brighton, Colorado. Field elevation 5061 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Private use. Magnetic variation 11.0°E on record, 7.4°E 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 0.08°/year west — about 1° every 12 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
| Runway | True | Magnetic | Number | Length | Surface | Pattern | Notes |

| 30 | 308.9° | 301.5° | matches rule gives runway 31 in ~44 yr | 3,681 ft | ASPH | right |
