Before and After Inspectly360

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

Before Inspectly360

  • Daily self-inspections are recorded on a clipboard that nobody checks for missed or late rounds.
  • A reportable surface condition is noticed but the NOTAM decision and timing are not recorded anywhere.
  • Friction surveys, lighting checks, and marking reviews sit in separate spreadsheets with no due-date view.
  • An inspection signature is a scribble nobody can tie to a named, trained, current inspector.
  • 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 becomes a finding.
  • A reportable finding flags the NOTAM decision with who raised it and when, kept on the record.
  • Every statutory interval raises staged alerts so the review is evidenced before the clock runs out.
  • Each inspection carries the named inspector, timestamp, and role so accountability is traceable.
  • A scoped, timestamped certification evidence pack exports per runway for the inspector in minutes.

What Is Runway Compliance Software, and How Do Aerodrome Teams Use It to Evidence Part 139 and Annex 14?

Runway compliance software is the platform aerodrome safeguarding officers, operations duty managers, and certification teams use to evidence runway self-inspections and statutory checks and keep defensible records across a pavement. Inspectly360 digitises Part 139.327 self-inspection cadence, NOTAM triggers, friction and lighting clocks, and named sign-off in one record aligned to ICAO Annex 14 and FAA 14 CFR Part 139.327. Runway compliance software for aerodrome safeguarding officers and operations duty managers evidencing Part 139.327 self-inspections, NOTAM triggers, and statutory clocks.

Today the self-inspection lives on a clipboard, the statutory due dates sit in separate spreadsheets, and the proof of a reportable condition is a memory of who raised the NOTAM. When a daily round is missed, a friction survey slips past its interval, or a reportable surface condition is not evidenced with a clear decision, the gap only surfaces when the regulator schedules a certification visit. Across a runway, 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, reportable findings flag a NOTAM decision with who and when, 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 runway 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 aerodrome standards that runway inspections and statutory checks are evidenced against: ICAO Annex 14

How Does Runway Compliance Run from a Self-Inspection to a NOTAM Trigger and Certification Evidence?

Aerodrome compliance teams follow this loop for self-inspections, NOTAM decisions, and the statutory clock and certification record.

  1. 1

    Schedule the Self-Inspection Cadence

    Set the Part 139.327 self-inspection schedule per runway so daily and condition-driven rounds are tracked, not assumed.

  2. 2

    Complete the Round on Mobile

    Duty staff record each self-inspection item with a photo and named sign-off, even offline at remote ends of the runway.

  3. 3

    Flag Reportable Conditions and NOTAM Decisions

    A reportable surface condition flags the NOTAM decision with who raised it and when, kept on the compliance record.

  4. 4

    Track Statutory Clocks

    Friction surveys, lighting checks, and marking reviews raise staged alerts so each statutory interval is evidenced on time.

  5. 5

    Export Certification Evidence

    A scoped, timestamped certification evidence pack exports per runway for the regulator covering the requested window.

How Should an Airport Pilot Digital Runway Compliance Before Rolling It Out to Every Pavement?

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

Pilot on One Runway

Start with a single runway so the self-inspection cadence, statutory clocks, and NOTAM-trigger logic are validated against the real certification basis before rollout to taxiways, aprons, and a second runway.

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 runway through role-based access.

Which Capabilities Help Teams Evidence Self-Inspections, Statutory Clocks, and NOTAM Triggers Consistently?

The platform capabilities that power runway compliance software across every site.

Self-inspection Cadence Tracking

Part 139.327 daily and condition-driven rounds are scheduled and tracked per runway. Why it matters: a missed self-inspection is a recordable gap the regulator looks for first.

NOTAM Decision Logging

A reportable surface condition flags the NOTAM decision with who raised it and when. Why it matters: a reportable condition with no decision trail is a finding waiting to happen.

Statutory Clock Alerts

Friction surveys, lighting checks, and marking reviews carry their interval with staged alerts. Why it matters: a statutory check evidenced late undermines the certification basis.

Named, Current Inspector Sign-off

Each inspection records the named inspector, role, and timestamp. Why it matters: an unsigned or unattributable round cannot be defended in a certification audit.

Condition History Per Section

Reportable conditions and their resolution attach to the pavement section over time. Why it matters: a recurring condition shows whether the response is fixing the cause or the symptom.

Certification Evidence Export

A branded, scoped evidence pack exports per runway for the regulator. Why it matters: a certification request becomes a minutes-long export, not a binder scramble.

Frequently Asked Questions About Runway Compliance Software

How does runway compliance software evidence Part 139.327 self-inspections?

The Part 139.327 self-inspection schedule is set per runway, covering daily and condition-driven rounds such as those triggered by weather or construction. 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.

How does the platform handle NOTAM triggers for reportable conditions?

When a self-inspection finds a reportable surface condition, such as a pavement break, contamination, or a lighting outage affecting declared distances, the platform flags the NOTAM decision on the record. It captures who identified the condition, who made the NOTAM decision, and the timestamp, alongside the photo evidence. This matters because the decision trail behind a NOTAM is exactly what a regulator examines after an event. Rather than relying on someone's memory of who raised the NOTAM and when, the compliance record holds the condition, the decision, and the resolution together, so the airport can show its process was followed consistently across duty shifts.

Does the platform work offline on the airfield?

Yes. Self-inspection capture works fully offline on iOS and Android, which matters at the far ends of a runway, during night rounds, and in areas where signal is weak. 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.

How does it track statutory clocks like friction surveys and lighting checks?

Each statutory check carries its required interval on the runway record, including friction and skid-resistance surveys, airfield ground lighting checks, and marking condition reviews. 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 runway and the relevant section. Because the due dates sit in one view rather than scattered spreadsheets, the safeguarding officer can see at a glance which statutory checks are current and which are approaching their limit, which is the picture a certification inspection expects to be shown without delay.

How does it prove a self-inspection was done by a current, trained inspector?

Each self-inspection records the named inspector, their role, and the timestamp, and access is scoped by role so only authorised staff can sign off a compliance round. This means an inspection is attributable to a specific person rather than an anonymous signature. Where an airport maintains training currency for its inspectors, the named sign-off lets the safeguarding officer tie a round to a known, current inspector. This closes a common gap where a paper signature cannot be matched to a trained individual. In a certification audit, attributable, role-scoped sign-off is far stronger evidence than a clipboard initial that nobody can place.

Can we scope access so different duty shifts and contractors see only their work?

Yes. Role-based access scopes each user to the inspections and runway sections they are responsible for. Duty staff get self-inspection capture, the safeguarding officer gets the full compliance view, and a contractor working a specific area sees only its assigned tasks. This prevents anyone receiving runway-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.
