KPLR field & runways
St Clair County, Pell City, Alabama. Field elevation 485 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 4.0°W on record, 4.4°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 0.064°/year west — about 1° every 16 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
