... New FAA Software The FAA is developing airport pavement management software called PAVEAIR to be distributed to airports and airport engineers for implementation on commercial and general aviation airports. PAVEAIR will be a web-based application for easy dissemination of information and will allow data for multiple airports to be made available on a single server connected to the web.
