KPVF field & runways
Placerville, Placerville, California. Field elevation 2586 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 14.0°E on record, 12.7°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 0.091°/year west — about 1° every 11 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
