The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) routinely rates public use airports using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) distress rating and evaluation method. The PCI method rates overall pavement condition and indicates the structural integrity and operational surface condition of the pavement. The Corps of Engineers developed the PAVER management system for the Federal Aviation Administration. The Micro PAVER pavement management system is an updated version of PAVER for the microcomputer. The Micro PAVER system provides a practical decision-making procedure for identifying cost-effective maintenance and repairs on airfield pavements, roads, streets, and parking areas. The PAVER system also features data storage and retrieval, pavement condition rating, project ranking, inspection scheduling, determination of present and future network condition, determination of maintenance and repair needs and costs, and budget planning.

The major objective of this research was to assess the pavement condition of the General Aviation (GA) airport runways in Kansas. This study was also intended to form the basis for a pavement management system (PMS) for these airports. The survey shows that approximately 26% of the GA airport runway sections surveyed are in poor to failed condition. The pavement deterioration model developed for these sections indicates that by June 1997 this percentage will increase to about 33%. The network maintenance report developed in this study shows that the fifteen airports under this study are in need of approximately $800,000 for repairs as of June 1995 in order to keep the average condition of these airports rated as "good". In this pilot study, 16 out of 116 paved runways were surveyed for a PMS for the GA airports in Kansas. This study indicates that a full-scale PMS based on MicroPAVER (a microcomputer-based PMS developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers) for GA airports in Kansas is feasible. In order to develop a working PMS for the whole network in Kansas, it is recommended that as a minimum, a 30% sample, or 20 more paved runways, be surveyed.
