Before and After Inspectly360
What changes once lavatories inspection software runs on one mobile-first platform with photo proof and live dashboards.
Before Inspectly360
- The smoke detector test is done but leaves no record that it passed on this tail today.
- A missing flapper door or discharged waste bin extinguisher is caught late by chance.
- The required lavatory door ashtray or a worn no-smoking placard is missed until an audit.
- A faulty door lock or dead call button is reported verbally and forgotten by the next crew.
- The cabin safety manager calls each base to learn which lavatories carry open faults.
After Inspectly360
- Each smoke detector test is logged per lavatory and tail with a pass, fail, and timestamp.
- Flapper door and automatic waste bin fire extinguisher are checked items with photo on a fail.
- Ashtray presence and no-smoking placards are checked per lavatory so the required item is confirmed.
- Lock and call system faults route to a tracked defect with location, photo, and severity.
- A live dashboard shows open lavatory defects and recurring faults across every tail number.
What Is Lavatories Inspection Software, and How Do Cabin and Maintenance Teams Use It Across a Fleet?
Lavatories inspection software is the platform cabin crew, Part-145 line maintenance engineers, and cabin safety managers use to inspect aircraft lavatories and keep defensible records across a fleet. Inspectly360 digitises lavatory inspections covering the smoke detector test, the waste bin flapper door and automatic fire extinguisher, the required no-smoking placards and lavatory door ashtray, the door lock and call system, and water and waste servicing, aligned to 14 CFR 121.308.
Today the smoke detector test is done but leaves no record it passed on this tail, a missing waste bin flapper door is caught by chance, and a faulty door lock is reported verbally and forgotten by the next crew. Across a mixed fleet, each base inspects lavatories its own way, so the cabin safety manager cannot see which lavatories carry open faults or which fault recurs across tail numbers.
Inspectly360 replaces that with mobile capture on iOS and Android: crew inspect each lavatory against a standard list, log the smoke detector test, flapper door, extinguisher, ashtray, placard, lock, and call system with a photo on any fail, and a fail becomes a tracked defect routed to line maintenance with owner and deadline. A branded evidence pack exports per tail number when the cabin safety manager or the regulator asks for the lavatory condition record.
- FAA 14 CFR 121.308 requires a lavatory smoke detector and an automatic fire extinguisher in each lavatory waste bin: 14 CFR 121.308
- EASA CS-25 sets the airworthiness code for large aeroplane cabin and lavatory safety equipment: EASA CS-25
How Does a Lavatory Inspection Run from Preflight Check to Continuing Airworthiness Records?
Cabin crew and line maintenance teams follow this loop for preflight lavatory checks, turnaround inspections, and continuing airworthiness reviews.
- 1
Tag Every Lavatory and Asset
Assign QR identity to each lavatory, smoke detector, and waste bin extinguisher so each check and fault attaches to a specific location and tail.
- 2
Run the Smoke Detector Test
Crew complete the lavatory smoke detector test on mobile and log the pass or fail with a timestamp, as required under 14 CFR 121.308.
- 3
Check Waste Bin and Required Items
Crew confirm the waste bin flapper door, automatic fire extinguisher, no-smoking placards, and the required door ashtray per lavatory.
- 4
Route Faults to a Tracked Defect
A failed lock, dead call button, or missing item becomes a defect with owner, severity, and deadline so it is not lost between crews.
- 5
Close Defects and Export Evidence
Verified closures stay on the lavatory record and a branded evidence pack exports per tail number for the cabin safety manager.

Access and Roles
Cabin crew get inspection capture, line engineers get defect sign-off, and the cabin safety manager gets read access to the full lavatory condition trail per tail through role-based access.
Which Capabilities Help Teams Check Smoke Detectors and Waste Bin Extinguishers Consistently?
The platform capabilities that power lavatories inspection software across every site.
Smoke Detector Test Record
Each lavatory smoke detector test is logged with a pass, fail, and timestamp per tail. Why it matters: a required test under 14 CFR 121.308 with no record is the gap an audit opens first.
Waste Bin Extinguisher Check
The flapper door and automatic waste bin fire extinguisher are checked items with a photo on a fail. Why it matters: a discharged or missing extinguisher is a fire-protection failure that a check catches early.
Required Item Confirmation
No-smoking placards and the required lavatory door ashtray are confirmed per lavatory. Why it matters: a missing required ashtray is a finding that is trivial to prevent and costly to miss.
Lock and Call System Capture
Door lock and call system faults route to a tracked defect with photo. Why it matters: a dead call button in a lavatory is a passenger safety and service issue, not a cosmetic one.
Defect Routing and Closure
Each fault becomes a tracked defect with owner, deadline, and verified closure. Why it matters: a verbally reported lock fault with no owner is forgotten by the next crew.
Fleet Lavatory Dashboard
Open lavatory defects and recurring faults roll up across tails. Why it matters: the cabin safety manager sees lavatory status without calling each base.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lavatories Inspection Software
How does lavatories inspection software record the smoke detector test?
The lavatory smoke detector test required under 14 CFR 121.308 is a logged inspection item per lavatory and tail number. Crew complete the test, record the pass or fail, and the platform stores it with a timestamp and the named person. Instead of the test being done but leaving no record that it passed on this tail today, the trail shows exactly when each lavatory smoke detector was tested and the result. A fail creates a tracked defect routed to line maintenance with location and severity. This closes the common audit gap where the test is believed to have happened but cannot be evidenced per aircraft.
How does the platform check the waste bin flapper door and fire extinguisher?
The waste bin flapper door and the automatic fire extinguisher in each lavatory waste bin, both required under 14 CFR 121.308, are dedicated inspection items. Crew confirm the flapper door is present and closing and that the automatic extinguisher is in place and not discharged, capturing a photo on any fail. A failed item routes to a tracked defect with the lavatory location and severity. This matters because the waste bin extinguisher is a primary fire-protection feature, and a missing flapper door or a discharged extinguisher is a serious finding. A structured check catches it early rather than by chance during a deeper inspection.
Does lavatories inspection software work offline on the aircraft?
Yes. The lavatory inspection works fully offline on iOS and Android, which matters on the aircraft and at remote stands where signal is weak. Crew complete the smoke detector test, check the waste bin and required items, capture photos of any fail, and submit while offline. Records sync automatically once the device reconnects, and the timestamp reflects when the inspection was actually done, not when it synced. Nothing is lost if a check happens in an area with no coverage. This keeps the lavatory condition trail accurate and complete for the cabin safety manager and continuing airworthiness review.
How are lavatory door lock and call system faults handled?
Door lock and call system faults are inspection items, and a failure creates a tracked defect against the specific lavatory and tail number, with a photo, location, and severity, routed to line maintenance. Instead of a faulty lock or a dead call button reported verbally and forgotten by the next crew, the defect is visible and stays open until a verified closure is recorded. A dead lavatory call button is a passenger safety issue, not a cosmetic one, so routing it to a tracked defect ensures it is fixed rather than carried as an unrecorded niggle across rotations. The cabin safety manager sees these faults across the fleet.
How does the platform confirm the required ashtray and no-smoking placards?
The required lavatory door ashtray and the no-smoking placards are checked items per lavatory. Crew confirm the ashtray is present and serviceable and that the no-smoking placards are in place and legible, flagging any missing or worn item with a photo. Although smoking is prohibited, the ashtray remains a required item on the lavatory door, and a missing one is a recurring finding that is easy to prevent. The structured check confirms the required item on every inspection, so a missing ashtray or a worn placard is caught and actioned during the check rather than discovered during an audit walk.
Can the platform track recurring lavatory faults across the fleet?
Yes. Because every lavatory fault is structured with its type, lavatory location, and tail number, the analytics view surfaces when the same fault recurs across the fleet. If the same door lock fails repeatedly, or a particular lavatory keeps showing a flapper door fault, it is flagged as recurring with frequency and affected tails. This lets the cabin safety manager push for a root-cause fix rather than treating the same symptom on each rotation. A repeating lavatory fault is an early signal of a deeper issue, and seeing the pattern across tails is what turns a reactive fix into a permanent one.
