Reflects the changes to FAA A/C 5320-6E and provides hands-on experience with FAARFIELD, the FAAs pavement design software Successful participants will have completed 18 Professional Development Hours

Airport pAvement Design & evaluation

Course Objective
At the end of this course, successful participants will be able to describe the principles of airfield pavement design, develop airfield pavement designs for new or rehabilitation projects, and evaluate the structural capacity of existing pavements using the FAAs latest pavement design procedures and tools.

Who Should Attend?

This course is aimed at engineers and practitioners responsible for the design or construction of new or rehabilitated airfield pavements. Participants need not have previous pavement design experience, but should be familiar with pavement engineering principles and pavement materials.

Course Method
This course consists of a combination of lecturediscussion and pavement design workshops from airport consultants, FAA representatives and other industry leaders. Participants will need to bring a laptop to complete design workshops and will be provided with a CD-ROM of relevant FAA Advisory Circulars and airfield pavement design tools.
