yeah great and in a few hundred years we gotta change all the runways by 180 degrees when the magnetic poles shift. Can’t we just leave them the way we are as 0 pointing towards the magnetic north as of 1955? Or as we know, true North.
Cause if we change when the magnetic polls flip for a few decades there will be lots of 0˚ headings…

What I understand is the earth sometimes rotates the magnetic heading every years or so?

Ins this correct, or did I totally not listen in science?

Well the magnetic north pole isn’t on the north pole, now it’s somewhere around Canada. :) So you are correct
