Runway 36 — wind slightly favors it, low confidence
Based mostly on wind; no traffic or ATIS to confirm. 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.

KBFM field & runways
Mobile Intl, Mobile, Alabama. Field elevation 26 ft. Class D airspace. Towered. Magnetic variation 1.0°W on record, 2.9°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 0.077°/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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
