The airfield pavement deteriorates during service due to traffic and climate effects therefore systematic monitoring is required in order to assess their structural and functional condition. Maintenance of the airfield pavement in a good state is an important factor in increasing the level of flight safety and protecting human life and health. This research study is intended to explain the entire process of evaluating an airfield pavement runway. It's categorized into two main evaluation, structural and functional evaluations. Both of them were explained for flexible and rigid pavements. Functional evaluation of the airfield pavement is evaluated by the pavement condition Index (PCI) and structural evaluation by Aircraft classification number- Pavement classification number (ACN-PCN) method and Heavy weight deflectometer (HWD). Pavement evaluation is essential to monitoring pavement performance, establishing the adequacy or otherwise of the service provided by the pavement and reliable rehabilitation technique. Evaluation is needed in respect of both functional and structural aspect of serviceability and the process essentially involve a definition of the problem to determine the cause and extent of the existing deterioration.
