KHND field & runways

Henderson Exec, Las Vegas, Nevada. Field elevation 2491 ft. Class D airspace. Towered. Magnetic variation 13.0°E on record, 10.9°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 0.081°/year west — about 1° every 12 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
17L	180.6°	169.6°	matches	5,001 ft	ASPH
17R	180.6°	169.6°	matches	6,501 ft	ASPH
35L	0.6°	349.6°	matches	6,501 ft	ASPH
35R	0.6°	349.6°	matches	5,001 ft	ASPH
