Before and After Inspectly360

What changes once de-icing vehicle compliance software runs on one mobile-first platform with photo proof and live dashboards.

Before Inspectly360

  • Fluid concentration and temperature are read verbally with no record tying them to the rig or the aircraft.
  • The holdover time used for an application is a verbal judgement with no documented basis or record.
  • Whether a fluid meets the relevant SAE standard for its type is assumed, not evidenced per batch.
  • The airside manager cannot say which rigs or applications are out of compliance without asking each shift.
  • Records are gathered by hand when a CAA inspector or ISAGO auditor asks for de-icing compliance proof.

After Inspectly360

  • Each application records the fluid type, concentration, and temperature against the rig with a timestamp.
  • Each application documents the HOT applied with the fluid type, conditions, and the table reference used.
  • Type I, II, III, and IV fluids are tracked to SAE AMS1424 or AMS1428 with batch evidence on one record.
  • A live dashboard shows fluid record, HOT, and serviceability status across the de-icing fleet.
  • A scoped, timestamped evidence pack exports per rig or application in minutes.

What Is De-Icing Vehicle Compliance Software, and How Do Airside Teams Use It Across a Rig Fleet?

De-icing vehicle compliance software is the platform airside operations managers, de-icing supervisors, and compliance leads use to hold fluid concentration records, holdover time documentation, and regulatory evidence for the de-icing fleet in one defensible record. Inspectly360 digitises fluid type and concentration tracking, HOT documentation, serviceability clocks, and the evidence that maps to SAE AMS1424, SAE AMS1428, SAE ARP6257, IATA IGOM, ISAGO, and local CAA airside rules.

Today the fluid concentration is read verbally at the rig, the holdover time used for an application is a judgement with no documented basis, and the evidence for an ISAGO requirement is scattered across phones and email. When a fluid is applied below its specified concentration, a HOT is exceeded without a record, or a Type IV batch cannot be tied to its SAE standard, nobody sees the gap until an incident review or a CAA inspection finds it. Across several shifts every supervisor holds compliance a little differently, so the airside manager cannot state fleet status with confidence.

Inspectly360 replaces that with mobile capture on iOS and Android: each application records the fluid type, concentration, and temperature against the rig, the holdover time applied is documented with its conditions and table reference, and Type I to Type IV fluids are tracked to SAE AMS1424 or AMS1428 with batch evidence. Serviceability clocks tie rig status to clearance, gaps raise alerts before they bite, and a branded evidence pack exports per rig or application when a CAA inspector or ISAGO auditor asks.

  • SAE AMS1424, AMS1428, and ARP6257 define the de-icing fluid specifications and ground de-icing process the records must evidence: SAE Standards
  • IATA Ground Operations Manual (IGOM) standardises the de-icing procedures and the serviceability framework for rigs: IATA IGOM

How Does De-Icing Rig Compliance Run from Fluid Record to Regulatory Evidence Pack?

Airside compliance teams follow this loop for fluid record capture, HOT documentation, and regulatory evidence.

  1. 1

    Map Requirements to Rigs and Fluids

    Attach SAE AMS1424, SAE AMS1428, IGOM, ISAGO, and local CAA requirements to each de-icing rig and each fluid type as tracked items.

  2. 2

    Record Fluid Concentration and Temperature

    Each application records the fluid type, concentration, and temperature against the rig with a timestamp and the refractometer reading.

  3. 3

    Document Holdover Time

    The holdover time applied is documented with the fluid type, the weather conditions, and the HOT table reference used.

  4. 4

    Clear Rigs to Operate

    Pre-use and service serviceability clocks and refractometer calibration determine whether each rig is cleared to de-ice today.

  5. 5

    Export the Evidence Pack

    A scoped, branded evidence pack exports per rig or application for a CAA inspector or ISAGO auditor in minutes.

How Should Ground Handlers Pilot Digital De-Icing Rig Compliance Before Fleet Rollout?

Answers to common long-tail questions, kept on one canonical page to avoid thin duplicate URLs.

Pilot on One Base

Start with a single de-icing pad or base so the requirement map, fluid record fields, and HOT documentation are validated against real rigs and fluids before rollout to other stations and contracted handlers.

Access and Roles

De-icing supervisors get evidence capture and clearance, the compliance lead gets requirement control, and the airside manager gets read access to the full compliance trail per rig and application through role-based access.

Which Capabilities Help Teams Track De-Icing Fluid Records, HOT, and Evidence Consistently?

The platform capabilities that power de-icing vehicle compliance software across every site.

Fluid Concentration and Temperature Records

Each application records the fluid type, concentration, and temperature against the rig with the refractometer reading. Why it matters: a fluid applied below its specified concentration gives an aircraft less protection than the crew believe it has.

Holdover Time Documentation

The HOT applied is documented with the fluid type, conditions, and the table reference used. Why it matters: an undocumented or exceeded holdover time is a recognised contributor to takeoff icing events and an evidence gap in any review.

Fluid Standard and Batch Tracking

Type I, II, III, and IV fluids are tracked to SAE AMS1424 or AMS1428 with batch evidence. Why it matters: a batch that cannot be tied to its SAE standard is the gap an auditor and an incident investigation both expose.

Serviceability Clearance Rules

Pre-use, service, and refractometer calibration status determine whether a rig is cleared to de-ice today. Why it matters: a rig with an uncalibrated refractometer producing concentration records is a compliance and safety risk.

Fleet Compliance Dashboard

Fluid record, HOT, and serviceability status roll up across rigs and applications. Why it matters: the airside manager states de-icing compliance without asking each shift during a busy season.

Per-rig and Per-application Evidence Export

A branded compliance pack exports per rig or application for the regulator. Why it matters: a CAA or ISAGO request becomes a minutes-long export, not a fluid-log search.

Frequently Asked Questions About De-Icing Vehicle Compliance Software

How does de-icing vehicle compliance software record fluid concentration?

Each de-icing application records the fluid type, the concentration, and the fluid temperature against the rig with a timestamp, drawn from the refractometer reading taken at the rig. Because Type I and the thickened Type II, III, and IV fluids must be applied within their specified concentration and temperature to perform, the value fields make the application reviewable rather than a verbal judgement. A reading outside the expected range flags before the fluid goes on the aircraft. The records stay tied to the rig and the application, so when a review or a CAA inspector asks how a particular aircraft was de-iced, the concentration and temperature are on the record rather than reconstructed from memory.

How does it document holdover time for an application?

Each application documents the holdover time applied along with the fluid type, the prevailing weather conditions, and the HOT table reference used to derive it. Holdover time is the window in which the applied fluid protects the aircraft, and an undocumented or exceeded HOT is a recognised contributor to takeoff icing events. By capturing the basis for the HOT at the point of application, the record shows not just the time used but why it was valid for the conditions. When an incident review or an auditor asks how the holdover time for a flight was determined, the documentation answers it directly rather than leaving the supervisor to defend a verbal judgement after the fact.

How does it track fluids against SAE AMS1424 and AMS1428?

Each fluid type is set up against its SAE standard: Type I against SAE AMS1424 and the thickened Type II, III, and IV fluids against SAE AMS1428. Batch evidence, including delivery and specification records, attaches to the fluid so the platform can show a given batch met its standard. The ground de-icing process itself is framed by SAE ARP6257. When an auditor or an investigator asks whether the fluid used was to specification, the record ties the application to the batch and the batch to the standard. This closes the gap where standard compliance is assumed rather than evidenced, which is exactly what an ISAGO assessment of de-icing operations checks.

How does it decide whether a rig is cleared to de-ice airside?

Serviceability clearance is driven by the rig's pre-use check, service status, and refractometer calibration. If a pre-use check is missed, an open defect is safety-critical, a service interval is overdue, or the refractometer is out of calibration, the rig shows as not cleared to de-ice until the issue is resolved. This turns a verbal judgement into a recorded rule, because a rig with an uncalibrated refractometer would otherwise produce concentration records that look valid but are not. The clearance status sits on the rig record with the evidence behind it, so an ISAGO auditor sees both the rule and the proof that a rig in service met it.

Does the platform work offline on the de-icing pad?

Yes. Capture works fully offline on iOS and Android, which matters on the de-icing pad, at remote stands, and at outstations where signal is weak in winter conditions. Supervisors record fluid concentration, document holdover time, and check serviceability clearance while offline, and records sync automatically once the device reconnects. Nothing is lost if a check is done in a dead spot during a frost event, and the timestamp reflects when the application happened, not when it synced. This keeps the compliance trail accurate for the airside manager and for a CAA inspector or ISAGO auditor reviewing fluid and HOT evidence across the fleet.

What evidence can we produce for a CAA inspection or ISAGO audit?

Every fluid record, holdover time entry, serviceability clearance, and requirement is stored with a timestamp, the named person, and photo or batch evidence against the specific rig or application. When a CAA inspector or ISAGO auditor asks for de-icing compliance proof, you export a scoped, branded evidence pack per rig or application covering the audit window in minutes. The trail shows fluid type, concentration, and temperature, the HOT applied with its basis, fluid-to-standard mapping, and serviceability clearance with verified sign-off. This replaces the gather-from-everywhere routine that paper fluid logs and email trails force, and the evidence is consistent across every shift and base in the operation.
