True north and magnetic north

Featured Replies

Hi - I just wondered if anyone had any links to a website which will tell me what the difference is between magnetic north and true north at any given airport?Thanks in advance!Gary

Other than using charts you can get a general idea from http://www.airnav.com/airports/Enter the identifier and you will see variation in the top block of info (under elevation). Looks like its old data, but for flight sim it is more than fine.

Thanks!The site only seems to be American airports.I found it on www.ivao.org website.

You can get the magnetic declination here http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/seg/geomag/jsp/st...calcDeclination by entering the latitude and longitude (or, if the place of interest in in the USA, a postal zip code will do).Doug
