Before and After Inspectly360
What changes once taxiway compliance software runs on one mobile-first platform with photo proof and live dashboards.
Before Inspectly360
- Daily taxiway self-inspections are on a clipboard nobody checks for missed or late rounds.
- Whether holding-position signs meet standard is judged by eye with no evidenced record.
- AGL serviceability is not evidenced section by section, so a circuit 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 sign is evidenced against standard with a photo so non-compliance is recorded and acted on.
- Lighting serviceability is evidenced per circuit 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 taxiway for the inspector in minutes.
What Is Taxiway Compliance Software, and How Do Aerodrome Teams Use It to Evidence Part 139 and Annex 14?
Taxiway compliance software is the platform aerodrome safeguarding officers, operations duty managers, and certification teams use to evidence taxiway self-inspections and statutory checks and keep defensible records across the system. Inspectly360 digitises Part 139.327 self-inspection cadence, holding-position sign 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 sign and marking review dates sit in separate spreadsheets, and whether holding-position signs 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 sign is not evidenced, the gap only surfaces when the regulator schedules a certification visit. Across the taxiway system, 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, signs 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 taxiway 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 taxiway sign, marking, and lighting standards that compliance is evidenced against: ICAO Annex 14
How Does Taxiway Compliance Run from a Self-Inspection to a Defect Decision and Certification Evidence?
Aerodrome compliance teams follow this loop for taxiway self-inspections, defect decisions, and the certification record.
- 1
Schedule the Self-Inspection Cadence
Set the Part 139.327 self-inspection schedule per taxiway 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 taxiway system.
- 3
Evidence Signs and Lighting Against Standard
Holding-position signs, guidance signs, and lighting serviceability are evidenced against standard with photos.
- 4
Track Statutory Clocks
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 taxiway for the regulator covering the requested window.
How Should an Airport Pilot Digital Taxiway Compliance Before Rolling It Out to Every Taxiway?
Answers to common long-tail questions, kept on one canonical page to avoid thin duplicate URLs.
Pilot on One Taxiway Group
Start with one group of taxiways so the self-inspection cadence, sign and lighting standards, and statutory clocks are validated against the real certification basis before rollout to the rest of the system, runways, and aprons.
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 taxiway through role-based access.
Which Capabilities Help Teams Evidence Self-Inspections, Sign Standards, and Statutory Clocks Consistently?
The platform capabilities that power taxiway compliance software across every site.
Self-inspection Cadence Tracking
Part 139.327 daily and condition-driven rounds are scheduled and tracked per taxiway. Why it matters: a missed self-inspection is a recordable gap the regulator looks for first.
Sign Standard Evidence
Holding-position and guidance signs are evidenced against standard with photos. Why it matters: a non-standard holding-position sign is both a compliance and an incursion risk.
Lighting Serviceability Evidence
AGL serviceability is evidenced per circuit on the compliance record. Why it matters: an unevidenced lighting gap is hard to defend in a certification audit.
Statutory Clock Alerts
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
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 taxiway for the regulator. Why it matters: a certification request becomes a minutes-long export, not a binder scramble.

Frequently Asked Questions About Taxiway Compliance Software
How does taxiway compliance software evidence Part 139.327 self-inspections?
The Part 139.327 self-inspection schedule is set per taxiway, 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 taxiway self-inspection coverage at any time.
How does it evidence holding-position signs against standard?
Each holding-position sign and guidance sign is evidenced against standard with a photo on the compliance record, so whether a sign meets requirements is documented rather than judged by eye and forgotten. When a sign is non-standard, faded, or unlit, the finding is recorded with its location and routed for action. This matters because holding-position signs are tied directly to runway-incursion risk, so a non-compliant one is both a certification finding and a safety concern. Evidencing signs individually means the safeguarding officer can demonstrate that every holding position has been checked against standard, and that any non-compliance has a decision and a resolution attached rather than sitting as an unrecorded judgement.
Does the platform work offline on the taxiway system?
Yes. Self-inspection capture works fully offline on iOS and Android, which matters across a large taxiway system, during night rounds, and where signal is weak between segments. 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.
How does it track statutory clocks for markings and lighting?
Each statutory check carries its required interval on the taxiway record, including marking condition reviews and airfield ground 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 taxiway and the relevant segment or circuit. 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.
How does it prove a self-inspection was done by a current 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 makes an inspection 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 against a person who was authorised and current at the time.
Can we scope access so contractors and shifts see only their work?
Yes. Role-based access scopes each user to the inspections and taxiway segments 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 system-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.
