KBAD Barksdale AFB
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 206 minutes old — treat with caution.

KBAD field & runways
Barksdale AFB, Bossier City, Louisiana. Field elevation 165 ft. Class C airspace. Non-towered (ATCT-RAPCON). Private use. Magnetic variation 2.0°E on record, 0.6°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 0.077°/year west — about 1° every 13 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
| Runway | True | Magnetic | Number | Length | Surface | Pattern | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | 151.5° | 150.9° | matches rule gives runway 16 in ~53 yr | 11,758 ft | PEM | left | ILS |
| 33 | 331.5° | 330.9° | matches rule gives runway 34 in ~53 yr | 11,758 ft | PEM | left | ILS |
