S36 field & runways
Crest Airfield, Covington, Washington. Field elevation 472 ft. Non-towered (NON-ATCT). Magnetic variation 20.0°E on record, 14.8°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 0.122°/year west — about 1° every 8 years — which is why runway numbers eventually stop matching their pavement.
