KAEL Albert Lea Muni
Unknown — not enough evidence to call a runway
We don't know, and saying so beats guessing. No D-ATIS feed here — a voice ATIS/AWOS may exist; check the frequency. ADS-B tracking just started here — traffic history is still building. Weather observation is 745 minutes old — treat with caution. Wind variable at 3 kt — no directional preference.

KAEL field & runways
Albert Lea Muni, Albert Lea, Minnesota. Field elevation 1261 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 1.0°E on record, 0.0°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 0.047°/year west — about 1° every 21 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
