Before and After Inspectly360
What changes once apron compliance software runs on one mobile-first platform with photo proof and live dashboards.
Before Inspectly360
- Daily apron self-inspections are on a clipboard nobody checks for missed or late rounds.
- Whether stand markings meet standard is judged by eye with no evidenced record.
- Apron lighting serviceability is not evidenced zone by zone, so a gap is hard to demonstrate.
- Marking and lighting reviews sit in separate spreadsheets with no due-date view.
- Records are gathered from binders and drives in a scramble when the regulator schedules a visit.
After Inspectly360
- Each scheduled self-inspection is tracked, and a missed or late round is flagged before it is a finding.
- Each stand marking is evidenced against standard with a photo so non-compliance is recorded and acted on.
- Lighting serviceability is evidenced per zone so the compliance picture is complete.
- Every statutory interval raises staged alerts so the review is evidenced before the clock runs out.
- A scoped, timestamped certification evidence pack exports per apron area for the inspector in minutes.
What Is Apron Compliance Software, and How Do Aerodrome Teams Use It to Evidence Part 139 and Annex 14?
Apron compliance software is the platform aerodrome safeguarding officers, operations duty managers, and certification teams use to evidence apron self-inspections and statutory checks and keep defensible records across the ramp. Inspectly360 digitises Part 139.327 self-inspection cadence, stand and limit-line marking standards, lighting serviceability, marking reviews, and named sign-off in one record aligned to ICAO Annex 14 and FAA 14 CFR Part 139.327.
Today the self-inspection lives on a clipboard, the marking review dates sit in separate spreadsheets, and whether stand markings meet standard is judged by eye with no record. When a daily round is missed, a marking review slips past its interval, or a non-standard limit line is not evidenced, the gap only surfaces when the regulator schedules a certification visit. Across the apron, every duty shift records compliance a little differently, so the safeguarding officer cannot show a clean, complete trail on demand.
Inspectly360 replaces that with mobile capture on iOS and Android: duty staff complete scheduled self-inspections, markings and lighting are evidenced against standard, and statutory clocks raise alerts before they run out. Each inspection carries a named, current inspector and a timestamp, and a branded certification evidence pack exports per apron area when the regulator asks.
- FAA 14 CFR Part 139.327 requires certificated airports to inspect the airfield and keep records of those self-inspections: 14 CFR 139.327
- ICAO Annex 14 sets the apron marking and lighting standards that compliance is evidenced against: ICAO Annex 14
How Does Apron Compliance Run from a Self-Inspection to a Defect Decision and Certification Evidence?
Aerodrome compliance teams follow this loop for apron self-inspections, defect decisions, and the certification record.
- 1
Schedule the Self-Inspection Cadence
Set the Part 139.327 self-inspection schedule per apron area so daily and condition-driven rounds are tracked, not assumed.
- 2
Complete the Round on Mobile
Duty staff record each self-inspection item with a photo and named sign-off, even offline across the apron.
- 3
Evidence Markings and Lighting Against Standard
Stand and limit-line markings and lighting serviceability are evidenced against standard with photos.
- 4
Track Statutory Clocks
For apron compliance field teams, marking reviews, lighting checks, and condition surveys raise staged alerts so each statutory interval is evidenced on time.
- 5
Export Certification Evidence
A scoped, timestamped certification evidence pack exports per apron area for the regulator covering the requested window.
How Should an Airport Pilot Digital Apron Compliance Before Rolling It Out to Every Stand?
Answers to common long-tail questions, kept on one canonical page to avoid thin duplicate URLs.
Pilot on One Apron Area
Start with one apron area or pier so the self-inspection cadence, marking standards, and statutory clocks are validated against the real certification basis before rollout to the rest of the apron, taxiways, and runways.
Access and Roles
Duty staff get self-inspection capture, the safeguarding officer gets the compliance and statutory-clock view, and the certification team gets read access to the full evidence trail per apron area through role-based access.
Which Capabilities Help Teams Evidence Self-Inspections, Marking Standards, and Statutory Clocks Consistently?
The platform capabilities that power apron compliance software across every site.
Self-inspection Cadence Tracking
Part 139.327 daily and condition-driven rounds are scheduled and tracked per apron area. Why it matters: a missed self-inspection is a recordable gap the regulator looks for first.
Marking Standard Evidence
Stand and limit-line markings are evidenced against standard with photos. Why it matters: a non-standard limit line is both a compliance and a GSE encroachment risk.
Lighting Serviceability Evidence
Apron lighting serviceability is evidenced per zone on the compliance record. Why it matters: an unevidenced lighting gap is hard to defend in a certification audit.
Statutory Clock Alerts
Across the apron compliance portfolio, marking reviews and lighting checks carry their interval with staged alerts. Why it matters: a statutory check evidenced late undermines the certification basis.
Named, Current Inspector Sign-off
On apron compliance programmes, each inspection records the named inspector, role, and timestamp. Why it matters: an unattributable round cannot be defended in a certification audit.
Certification Evidence Export
A branded, scoped evidence pack exports per apron area for the regulator. Why it matters: a certification request becomes a minutes-long export, not a binder scramble.

Frequently Asked Questions About Apron Compliance Software
How does apron compliance software evidence Part 139.327 self-inspections?
The Part 139.327 self-inspection schedule is set per apron area, covering daily and condition-driven rounds. Duty staff complete each round on mobile with photos and a named sign-off, and the platform tracks whether a scheduled round was completed, late, or missed. Because every inspection carries the inspector's name, role, and timestamp, the trail is attributable rather than a clipboard scribble. When an FAA inspector asks for the self-inspection record over a window, you export a scoped evidence pack in minutes. This replaces the scramble where records are gathered from clipboards and binders and gaps are only found under audit pressure, and it gives the safeguarding officer a live view of apron self-inspection coverage at any time.
How does it evidence stand and limit-line markings against standard?
Each stand centreline, lead-in line, and equipment limit line is evidenced against standard with a photo on the compliance record, so whether a marking meets requirements is documented rather than judged by eye and forgotten. When a marking is non-standard or faded, the finding is recorded with its stand and routed for action. This matters because equipment limit lines keep GSE clear of the aircraft, so a non-compliant one is both a certification finding and a damage risk. Evidencing markings individually means the safeguarding officer can demonstrate that every stand's markings have been checked against standard, and that any non-compliance has a decision and a resolution attached rather than sitting as an unrecorded judgement on a busy ramp.
Does the platform work offline on the apron?
Yes. Self-inspection capture works fully offline on iOS and Android, which matters on a busy apron, during night rounds, and where signal is weak between piers and structures. Duty staff complete rounds and capture photos while offline, and records sync automatically once the device reconnects. The timestamp reflects when the round was actually completed, not when it synced, which keeps the compliance trail accurate. Nothing is lost when an inspection is done in a no-coverage area. This reliability is important because a self-inspection record with gaps or wrong timestamps undermines the very certification basis the round is meant to support, and patchy connectivity is exactly where paper-based records tend to fail on the ramp.
How does it track statutory clocks for markings and lighting?
Each statutory check carries its required interval on the apron record, including marking condition reviews and apron lighting checks. The platform raises staged alerts before each interval runs out so the check is evidenced on time rather than discovered overdue. When the check is completed, the result attaches to the apron area and the relevant stand or zone. Because the due dates sit in one view rather than scattered spreadsheets, the safeguarding officer can see which statutory checks are current and which are approaching their limit. That is the picture a certification inspection expects to be shown without delay, and it turns statutory compliance from a memory exercise into a tracked, evidenced process across the apron.
Can we scope access so contractors and shifts see only their work?
Yes. Role-based access scopes each user to the inspections and apron areas they are responsible for. Duty staff get self-inspection capture, the safeguarding officer gets the full compliance view, and a contractor or handler working a specific area sees only its assigned tasks. This prevents anyone receiving apron-wide compliance access beyond their remit while keeping a single consolidated certification view for the airport. Access changes are logged, so the trail shows who could see and sign off on what, and when. For certification, this controlled, traceable access is itself part of the evidence that the inspection process is managed rather than ad hoc, which is increasingly what regulators expect to see demonstrated.
How long does it take to roll this out across an airfield?
Most airports pilot on one apron area or pier first. The self-inspection cadence, marking standards, and statutory clocks are validated against the airport's real certification basis before the rollout widens to the rest of the apron, taxiways, and runways. A focused pilot typically proves the workflow in a few weeks because the field steps mirror the existing self-inspection routine, just on mobile with photos and named sign-off. Once the pilot area is stable, the other stands reuse the same schedules and roles, so each new area onboards faster and the safeguarding officer reaches a single, current compliance view across the apron sooner rather than later.
