Before and After Inspectly360
What changes once airport operations inspection software runs on one mobile-first platform with photo proof and live dashboards.
Before Inspectly360
- The airfield drive is recorded on a paper log that sits in the operations office.
- FOD finds and wildlife activity are called on the radio with no location record or photo.
- A pavement crack or unserviceable light is mentioned to maintenance with no tracked work order.
- The airside safety manager asks the duty manager which inspections were completed this shift.
- Airfield logs are photocopied and searched by hand when the FAA inspector asks for records.
After Inspectly360
- Each self-inspection runs on mobile with GPS, photos, and a timestamp against the movement area.
- FOD and wildlife are logged with exact location and a photo for trend analysis and reporting.
- Each discrepancy becomes a tracked item with location, owner, deadline, and verified closure.
- Live dashboard shows self-inspection completion and open discrepancies across the airfield.
- A scoped, timestamped self-inspection record exports for the inspector in minutes.
What Is Airport Operations Inspection Software, and How Do Airside and Terminal Teams Use It Across the Airfield?
Airport operations inspection software is the platform airside safety managers, airport duty managers, and operations officers use to run daily airside self-inspections and keep defensible records across the airfield. Inspectly360 digitises Part 139.327 self-inspections, FOD control, wildlife logging, pavement and lighting checks, and terminal inspections in one record aligned to FAA 14 CFR Part 139.327 and ICAO Annex 14. Airport operations inspection software for airside safety and duty manager teams running Part 139.327 self-inspections, FOD control, and terminal checks across the airfield.
Today the airfield drive is recorded on a paper log in the operations office, FOD and wildlife are called on the radio with no location or photo, and a pavement crack is mentioned to maintenance with no tracked work order. When a self-inspection is missed, or a discrepancy is raised but never closed, nobody sees it until a Part 139 inspection or an internal review surfaces the gap. Across a 24-hour operation with shifting duty managers, each shift records the airfield a little differently, so the airside safety manager cannot compare status across shifts and areas.
Inspectly360 replaces that with mobile capture on iOS and Android: operations officers complete airside self-inspections with GPS and photos, FOD and wildlife are logged with exact location, and any discrepancy routes to a tracked item with owner and deadline. A branded self-inspection record exports when the FAA Part 139 inspector or the authority asks, and the same templates run identically across every shift and movement area.
- FAA 14 CFR Part 139.327 requires certificated airports to conduct and record regular airside self-inspections: 14 CFR 139.327
- ICAO Annex 14 sets the aerodrome design and operational standards that airside inspection programs support: ICAO Annex 14
How Does an Airside Self-Inspection Run from Airfield Drive to Tracked Discrepancy?
Airside and terminal teams follow this loop for daily self-inspections, FOD and wildlife logging, and airfield-level reviews.
- 1
Map the Airfield and Assets
Define movement areas, runways, taxiways, and lighting circuits, and tag terminal assets so each check attaches to a known location.
- 2
Run the Airside Self-Inspection
Operations officers complete the Part 139.327 self-inspection on mobile with GPS, checking pavement, markings, lighting, and signage with photos.
- 3
Log FOD and Wildlife
FOD finds and wildlife activity are logged with exact location and a photo so trends and reportable events are captured.
- 4
Route Discrepancies to an Owner
A pavement crack, unserviceable light, or hazard becomes a tracked discrepancy with owner, deadline, and NOTAM relevance noted.
- 5
Review Status and Export Evidence
Self-inspection completion and open discrepancies roll up across the airfield, and a record exports for the Part 139 inspector.
How Should an Airport Pilot Digital Self-Inspection Before Rolling Out Across the Airfield?
Answers to common long-tail questions, kept on one canonical page to avoid thin duplicate URLs.
Pilot on One Movement Area
Start with one part of the airfield, such as the runway and its taxiways, so the self-inspection template, asset map, and discrepancy routing are validated against real locations before extending across the whole airfield and terminal.
Access and Roles
Operations officers get self-inspection capture, the airport duty manager gets shift status, and the airside safety manager gets the full evidence trail through role-based access.
Which Capabilities Help Airside Teams Run Part 139.327 Self-Inspections Consistently?
The platform capabilities that power airport operations inspection software across every site.
GPS Airside Self-inspection
Each Part 139.327 self-inspection captures pavement, markings, lighting, and signage with GPS and photos. Why it matters: a recorded drive with location evidence is what the FAA inspector expects to see.
FOD and Wildlife Logging
FOD finds and wildlife activity are logged with exact location and a photo. Why it matters: a FOD trend at one taxiway intersection points to a source you can fix, and wildlife data supports the hazard program.
Pavement and Lighting Discrepancy Tracking
A pavement crack or unserviceable light becomes a tracked discrepancy by location. Why it matters: an unserviceable runway light left untracked is a safety and NOTAM issue.
Discrepancy Routing and Closure
Each discrepancy carries an owner, a deadline, NOTAM relevance, and verified closure. Why it matters: a hazard mentioned on the radio with no work order is the gap an inspection exposes.
Airfield-wide Status Dashboard
Self-inspection completion and open discrepancies roll up across shifts and areas. Why it matters: the airside safety manager sees status without asking each duty manager.
Part 139 Evidence Export
A branded self-inspection record exports for the FAA inspector. Why it matters: a Part 139 records request becomes a minutes-long export, not a logbook search.

Frequently Asked Questions About Airport Operations Inspection Software
How does airport operations inspection software support Part 139.327 self-inspections?
The platform digitises the daily airside self-inspection the FAA requires of certificated airports. Operations officers drive the airfield and record pavement, markings, lighting, signage, and other items on mobile with GPS and photos, so each inspection has a location and a timestamp. Discrepancies route to maintenance as tracked items, and the completed self-inspection is stored as the record Part 139.327 expects. When the FAA inspector asks for self-inspection records, the airside safety manager exports a scoped, timestamped record in minutes rather than searching a logbook. This makes the daily requirement consistent across shifts and gives the airport a defensible, complete inspection history.
How does the platform handle FOD and wildlife on the airfield?
FOD finds and wildlife activity are logged with their exact location and a photo during the self-inspection or at any time on the airfield. Because each entry carries a location, the platform builds a picture of where FOD recurs, such as a particular taxiway intersection, which points to a source you can address rather than just picking up debris repeatedly. Wildlife observations feed the airport's wildlife hazard program with the species, location, and time. This turns scattered radio calls into structured data the airside safety manager can analyse for trends and report against, supporting both safety and the airport's certification obligations under Annex 14.
Does the platform work offline across the airfield?
Yes. Capture works fully offline on iOS and Android, which matters on a large airfield and at remote movement areas where signal is weak. Operations officers complete the self-inspection, capture GPS and photos, and log FOD, wildlife, and discrepancies while offline, and records sync automatically once the device reconnects. The timestamp and location reflect when and where the inspection actually happened. Nothing is lost if a drive is done in an area with no coverage. This keeps the self-inspection trail accurate and defensible for a Part 139 inspection, and it means a 24-hour airfield operation is recorded consistently regardless of connectivity at any point on the field.
How does it handle an unserviceable runway light or pavement discrepancy?
When an operations officer finds a pavement crack, an unserviceable runway or taxiway light, or another discrepancy, they log it with its exact location and a photo. It becomes a tracked discrepancy routed to maintenance with an owner and a deadline, and NOTAM relevance can be flagged so a reportable condition is not missed. The discrepancy stays open on the dashboard until verified closure. This replaces the radio call to maintenance that leaves no work order and no proof of follow-up. The airside safety manager sees every open discrepancy across the airfield, so an unserviceable light or surface defect cannot quietly persist between shifts.
What evidence can we produce for an FAA Part 139 inspection?
Every self-inspection, FOD and wildlife log, discrepancy, and closure is stored with a timestamp, GPS location, the named officer, and photo evidence. When the FAA inspector asks for self-inspection records, you export a scoped, branded record covering the inspection window in minutes. The trail shows the daily airfield drives, the items checked, the FOD and wildlife logged, and the closure of any discrepancy with verified sign-off. This replaces the photocopy-and-search routine that paper airfield logbooks force, and because every shift used the same template, the records are consistent across the whole operation rather than varying by duty manager or shift.
Can we scope access so contractors and ground handlers only see their areas?
Yes. Role-based access scopes each user to the areas and tasks they are responsible for. A contractor or ground handler working on the airfield sees only its assigned area and tasks, while the airport's operations team keeps full airfield visibility. Operations officers get self-inspection capture, the duty manager gets shift status, and the airside safety manager gets the complete trail. Access changes are logged, so the audit trail shows who could see and sign off on what, and when. For an airfield with multiple contractors and handlers operating airside, scoped access keeps oversight clear while still giving the airport one consolidated view of airfield status.
