KSMD field & runways
Smith Fld, Fort Wayne, Indiana. Field elevation 836 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 5.0°W on record, 5.9°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 0.022°/year west — about 1° every 45 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
