"They" are certainly going to keep the true heading in the navaid file, because the magnetic heading is changing permanently and therefore is a moving target. The navaids collection is meant to place the navaids at their proper location in an unambiguous way - which obviously is the true heading. BTW, feel free to use this service if your're looking for slightly more complete airfield data: http://mapserver.flightgear.org/ms?Service=WFS&Version=1.0.0&request=GetFeature&Typename=apt_airfield&MaxFeatures=1&Filter=<Filter><PropertyIsEqualTo><PropertyName>icao</PropertyName><Literal>KBTV</Literal></PropertyIsEqualTo></Filter> .... still processing.
