L18 field & runways
Fallbrook Community Airpark, Fallbrook, California. Field elevation 711 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 13.0°E on record, 11.0°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.
