For each structural layer:
Material type (FAA specification) Layer Thickness Modulus or R-value (if applicable)
Aircraft Window
Select airplane from library. For each airplane in the mix:
Aircraft Name Gross Taxi Weight Annual departures and percent annual growth if applicable
There are built-in restrictions on the layer types, including relative position and layer properties. For subgrade, can enter CBR or k and FAARFIELD will convert to E.

Common Files
Storage files:
*.JOB.xml job files (XML format) contain data required by FAARFIELD for all the sections in one job. *.DES.xml design information files generated by Save XML command. *.nts notes files (contain user entered information)
Legacy Files
Leaf.loa and Leaf.str Load and structure definition files compatible with programs LEDNEW and Juleaww.exe
Must input the fleet mix, NOT equivalent departures of design aircraft.
