I just noticed that an AD chart has been published for FHSH as well: http://www.atns.com/downloads/FHSH%20AD%202-11.pdf

But why the hell are the runway numbers 02/20 when the direction is 179° and 379° respectively?

A first test flight with a B738 operated by Comair is expected to touch down on April 18th.

But why the hell are the runway numbers 02/20 when the direction is 179° and 379° respectively?

Those are the true headings (I believe you mean 359°?) - the magnetic headings are also given as 016° and 196° hence the runway numbers.

Variation is clearly still 17°W as it was when I was there in 2007 (I looked up my old Nav Workbook/sight book)
