National Airport Pavement Registry

SCOPE:

The FAA has established the National Registry of Airport Pavements to help plan and monitor expenditures of the Airport Improvement Program (AIP). The National Registry is a database containing technical and cost information on airport pavements throughout the United States. Data will be collected by means of surveys distributed to Airport District and Regional Offices. In the initial phase, the National Registry will collect basic information of new airport pavement construction since 1995, including: pavement geometry, cross-section, design data and costs. In a future phase, performance data of specific pavements will also be collected and added to the National Registry
