I’m just a pilot. This article has caused friends and family to send emails today asking, “What’s going on in Tampa?”. People on this board have had some pretty interesting responses to it today as well, on this and other threads. I don’t think it’s widely known that magnetic north moves.
‘Normal’ movement and the big shift towards a pole reversal are two separate issues with me. Runways are renumbered all the time because of it. Airport diagrams list the annual rate of change. Folks are twitchy with stuff like this since we’re getting closer to 2012 I’m guessing.
Thanks for the article.
