What Is Jetway Inspection Software, and How Do PBB and Operations Teams Use It Across Every Bridge?
Jetway inspection software is the platform PBB (passenger boarding bridge) maintenance engineers, terminal operations managers, and facilities teams use to inspect boarding bridges and keep defensible records across a terminal. Inspectly360 digitises routine condition checks of the tunnel structure and walkway, wheel bogie and drive system, rotunda, cab and canopy bellows, auto-leveller, safety shoe, emergency stop, lighting, and CCTV in one record aligned to EN 12312-4 and PBB manufacturer maintenance manuals.
Today the bridge check lives on a paper sheet, a torn bellows is reported by cabin crew rather than caught on a check, and the proof a bridge was inspected is a signature nobody can trace. When the wheel bogie wears, the auto-leveller drifts, or the safety shoe stops working, nobody sees it until the bridge struggles to dock or a passenger is at risk. Across many bridges, every team inspects a little differently, so the operations manager cannot compare bridge condition across the terminal.
Inspectly360 replaces that with mobile capture on iOS and Android: engineers walk the bridge and log structural, walkway, drive, bellows, and safety shoe condition with a photo, each bridge carries its own inspection history, and findings route to a tracked defect with owner and deadline. A branded evidence pack exports per bridge when the operations team or airport authority asks how boarding bridges are inspected and kept serviceable.
- EN 12312-4 sets the specific safety and design requirements for passenger boarding bridges: EN 12312-4
- ISO 45001 sets the framework for occupational health and safety management covering boarding bridge operation: ISO 45001
How Does a PBB Inspection Run from Walkthrough to Tracked Bridge Defect?
PBB maintenance and operations teams follow this loop for routine bridge walkthroughs, scheduled checks, and docking readiness.
- 1
Tag Every Bridge by Asset
Assign QR identity to each passenger boarding bridge so it carries its own inspection, defect, and docking history.
- 2
Walk the Bridge and Log Condition
Engineers inspect tunnel structure, walkway, rotunda, and cab on mobile, capturing slip, trip, and damage defects with photos.
- 3
Check Drive, Bellows, and Safety Systems
Teams inspect the wheel bogie, drive, cab bellows, auto-leveller, safety shoe, and emergency stop against the bridge record.
- 4
Route and Track Bridge Defects
Findings become tracked defects with owner and deadline so a torn bellows or worn bogie is planned, not forgotten.
- 5
Confirm Readiness and Export Evidence
Bridge condition rolls up across piers and a branded evidence pack exports per bridge for the authority.
How Should an Airport Pilot Digital PBB Inspections Before Rolling Out Across Every Bridge?
Answers to common long-tail questions, kept on one canonical page to avoid thin duplicate URLs.
Pilot on One Pier
Start with a single pier so the bridge list, check templates, and defect workflows are validated against real bridges before rollout to other piers and remote stands.
Access and Roles
PBB engineers get bridge inspection capture, the operations manager gets read access to bridge condition, and facilities gets visibility of open defects across every bridge through role-based access.
Which Capabilities Help Teams Check Bogie, Bellows, and Safety Shoe Consistently?
The platform capabilities that power jetway / passenger boarding bridge inspection software across every site.
Structural and Walkway Checks
Tunnel structure, rotunda, and walkway slip, trip, and floor condition are inspected with photo evidence. Why it matters: a walkway slip or trip injures a passenger and exposes the operator to a claim.
Wheel Bogie and Drive History
Each bridge carries its bogie and drive system inspection history per asset. Why it matters: a worn bogie or drive fault leaves the bridge unable to align with the aircraft door.
Bellows and Auto-leveller Checks
Cab and canopy bellows and the auto-leveller are checked on a schedule with photos. Why it matters: a torn bellows or drifting auto-leveller risks weather ingress and a docking misalignment.
Safety Shoe and Emergency Stop Tests
The safety shoe and emergency stop are tested on a schedule with the result recorded per bridge. Why it matters: a failed safety shoe is a direct danger to anyone in the bridge path.
Bridge Condition Dashboard
Condition, open defects, and docking issues roll up across piers. Why it matters: the operations manager sees which bridges are degraded without calling each pier.
Per-bridge Evidence Export
A branded inspection pack exports per bridge for the airport authority. Why it matters: an authority request becomes a minutes-long export, not a sheet search across piers.

Frequently Asked Questions About Jetway / Passenger Boarding Bridge Inspection Software
How does jetway inspection software check the wheel bogie and drive system?
Each passenger boarding bridge is tagged as an asset, so its wheel bogie and drive system carry their own inspection history. An engineer logs bogie wear, tyre condition, drive faults, and alignment behaviour against the specific bridge with a photo, and any finding becomes a tracked defect with an owner and deadline. Because the history sits on the bridge rather than a shared sheet, a recurring drive problem on one bridge is visible rather than rediscovered each shift. This matters because a worn bogie or a drive fault leaves the bridge unable to align cleanly with the aircraft door, which delays boarding and disembarkation and can take the stand out of use until it is fixed.
Can it record cab bellows and auto-leveller checks?
Yes. The cab and canopy bellows and the auto-leveller are set up as scheduled checks against each bridge, completed on mobile with photo evidence. The check confirms the bellows are intact and weatherproof and that the auto-leveller holds the cab floor level with the aircraft door sill as passengers move. If a bellows is torn or the auto-leveller drifts, the engineer raises a tracked defect with an owner and deadline rather than waiting for cabin crew to report it. This matters because a torn bellows lets weather into the boarding path and a faulty auto-leveller creates a trip step at the aircraft door, both of which are passenger safety and comfort risks.
How does it handle the safety shoe and emergency stop?
The safety shoe under the cab and the emergency stop controls are tested on a defined schedule, with the result recorded against the specific bridge. The safety shoe is designed to stop the bridge moving if it contacts the aircraft or an obstruction, and the emergency stop must halt motion immediately, so both are critical to passenger and ramp safety. Recording each test per bridge means there is proof the protection was verified serviceable, not assumed. If a test fails, the bridge can be flagged and a defect raised before it carries passengers again. This closes the gap where safety systems are taken for granted until the moment they are needed and do not work.
Does the platform work offline on the bridge and at remote stands?
Yes. Capture works fully offline on iOS and Android, which matters inside the bridge tunnel, in the bogie area, and at remote stands where signal is weak. Engineers complete inspections and tests with photos while offline, and records sync automatically once the device reconnects. Nothing is lost if a check is done in a dead zone, and the timestamp reflects when the work was actually done, not when it synced. This keeps the bridge condition picture accurate across the terminal and gives the authority a trustworthy record of when each bridge was last inspected, even for bridges at remote stands far from the terminal building.
What evidence can we produce for the airport authority?
Every bridge inspection, scheduled check, safety test, defect, and closure is stored with a timestamp, the named engineer, and photo evidence against the specific bridge. When the airport authority asks how boarding bridges are inspected and kept serviceable, you export a scoped, branded evidence pack per bridge covering the period in minutes. The trail shows structural and walkway checks, bogie and drive condition, bellows and auto-leveller status, safety shoe and emergency stop tests, and the closure of any defect with verified sign-off. This replaces the sheet-and-filing-cabinet routine and keeps evidence consistent across every bridge rather than varying by engineer or shift.
Can access be scoped so a maintenance contractor only sees its bridges?
Yes. Role-based access scopes each user to the bridges they are responsible for. A maintenance contractor sees only the bridges assigned to it, while the airport operations and facilities teams keep combined visibility across every bridge. PBB engineers get inspection capture, the operations manager gets read access to condition, and facilities gets visibility of open defects. This prevents a contractor receiving terminal-wide record access beyond its remit, while still giving the airport a single consolidated view of bridge condition. Access changes are logged, so the audit trail shows who inspected, owned, and closed each bridge defect, and when.
