IL48 field & runways
St Louis Metro-East/Shafer Fld, St Jacob, Illinois. Field elevation 477 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Private use. Magnetic variation 2.0°W on record, 2.3°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 0.053°/year west — about 1° every 19 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
