KSAS field & runways
Salton Sea, Salton City, California. Field elevation -84 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 13.0°E on record, 10.7°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 0.076°/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 |

| 7 | 84.8° | 74.1° | matches rule gives runway 8 in ~12 yr | 5,000 ft | GRAVEL | right |
