| Flexible Pavement Design (MS Excel) | Flexible Pavement Design Manual (PDF) (Updated 7/16/2002) | Updated 10/31/2005 |
| Rigid Pavement Design (MS Excel) | Rigid Pavement Design Manual (PDF) (Updated 7/16/2002) | Updated 4/30/2004 |
| Layered Elastic Pavement Design Version 1.3 (ZIP) | Layered elastic design software discussed in Chapter 7 of AC 150/5320-6, Airport Pavement Design and Evaluation. Software updated in June 2004 to include new commercial aircraft models and many general aviation aircraft. | Updated 7/26/2004 |
| FAARFIELD 1.203 (8/11//2008) | FAARFIELD 1.203 replaced the previous version 1.1021 that accompanied Draft AC 150/5320-6E. The FAARFIELD program will become the new FAA standard for airfield pavement design upon final publication of AC 150/5320-6E. Pavement design in accordance with the AC requires the use of the FAARFIELD program. | |
