AI Overview
Based on available information, Spangdahlem Air Base (ETAD) transitioned its main runway designation from 04/22 to 05/23 due to magnetic drift.
Evidence of change: A social media post from a spotter group on February 25, 2026, confirmed"I realise it's now 05/23".
Context: Similar to other European airports, this change reflects the shift in magnetic north, requiring runway numbers (which are based on magnetic heading) to be updated periodically.
Note: While the results mention a 05/23 designation in early 2026, they do not pinpoint the exact date the change was painted on the runway, only that it was in effect as of February 2026.

I searched the NOAA METAR history for any low visibility conditions which usually mention the runway, and below is a METAR from March 2nd at 1455z, mentioning visibility 2400 for runway 22:
METAR ETAD 021455Z 17007KT 9999 CLR 15/03 A3011 RMK AO2A VIS 2400 RWY22 SLP192 T01470032 57011 FZRANO
Below are a couple of active NOTAMs for ETAD:
B) 02 MAR 2026 20:00 C) 03 MAR 2026 20:00
E) SEQUENCED FLG LGT OUT OF SVC ON RWY 22.
B) 19 DEC 2025 10:11 C) 12 MAR 2026 23:59
E) RWY 04 ILS FAR FIELD MONITOR OUT OF SERVICE.
Also, the MSFS2024 online Flight Planner has 04/22, so I take the default scenery has 04/22 as well. The data is based on Lufthansa Systems LIDO navdata cycle 2602.
Anyway, I will rest my case.
