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. No ADS-B traffic data available. Weather observation is 10887 minutes old — treat with caution.

KFXY field & runways

Forest City Muni/Trimble Fld, Forest City, Iowa. Field elevation 1229 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 3.0°E on record, 0.2°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 0.049°/year west — about 1° every 20 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.

Runway data from the FAA NASR 01 Oct 2026 cycle. Where NASR locates both thresholds, the true heading is the bearing between them rather than NASR's whole-degree alignment. Magnetic is that heading against *today's* declination from WMM2025, not the field's variation of record — so it can differ from the chart by the gap between the two shown above. The number painted on the runway is the one ATC uses.
Runway	True	Magnetic	Number	Length	Surface	Pattern
15	154.9°	154.7°	matches rule gives runway 16 in ~6 yr	5,796 ft	ASPH	left
27	274.7°	274.5°	matches rule gives runway 28 in ~11 yr	2,707 ft	ASPH
33	334.9°	334.7°	matches rule gives runway 34 in ~6 yr	5,796 ft	ASPH	left
9	94.7°	94.5°	matches rule gives runway 10 in ~11 yr	2,707 ft	ASPH	left
