The poles shift continuously...This makes no sense...
To: TaraP
I remember when the Tampa airport only had one little building and you had to walk outside to your plane.

I saw this story over at godlikeproductions and didn’t believe it. I guess it is true. Wow.

I thought those designations would be using geographical north, not magnetic north, anyway.

They probably do it only once every certain numbers of years, instead of changing it minutely every day.

They have to close the runway for more than a week to repaint the numbers on it?
Is that union labor? Or government regulations?

True. It should also be noted that the speed of the shift isn’t constant. Some years its faster and other years there is little movement.

Seems to me it would make more sense to orient runways based on the prevailing winds, especially with larger aircraft. However, that may not be possible with busy, multiple runway airfields.

They (Jeppesen et al) may have to reprint a bunch of charts too.
To: SengirV
That could explain it alright.

They'll just take it by Condemnation through the use of Eminent Domain procedures. /s
