KAKO field & runways
Colorado Plains Rgnl, Akron, Colorado. Field elevation 4716 ft. Class E airspace. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 10.0°E on record, 6.6°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 0.078°/year west — about 1° every 13 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
