Runway Audit App

Runway Audit App turns runway audits into a scored, repeatable programme. Auditors score each runway against weighted criteria, attach photo evidence, and track corrective actions to verified closure across every site. Managers compare runway audit scores across sites and track every corrective action to closure.

What is Runway Audit App?

Runway Audit App runs a scored runway audit covering pavement cracking and rubber deposits, runway and threshold markings, approach and runway edge lighting, surface friction and standing water, and foreign object debris, with a photo and a sign-off required on each point. Without a system, runway findings live on paper and in chat. A runway fault such as rubber build-up reducing friction slips through. An audit then means rebuilding runway evidence from folders.

Runway Audit App keeps one record per runway and per site, with photo evidence and a named sign-off. Each runway finding is tracked to verified closure. Airside operations teams see runway completion and overdue actions across the transport, logistics & warehousing portfolio. Every runway record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

What to Include in a Runway Audit App?

A comprehensive runway audit covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Audit runway operations with structured scoring, photo evidence, and corrective action tracking. Your audit should include sections for pavement cracking and rubber deposits, runway and threshold markings, and approach and runway edge lighting, evidence capture, pass/fail or scoring criteria, corrective action assignment, and sign-off, so that nothing is missed and every audit finding is traceable.

How to Use Runway Audit App

A scored audit only helps if every auditor scores the same way. Follow these steps to run a runway audit:

  1. Open the runway audit template, which carries weighted criteria and a scoring scheme.
  2. Score each runway against the criteria and attach photo evidence for any non-conformance.
  3. Let the app calculate the section and overall runway score so the site is comparable to others.
  4. Raise a corrective action for each failed runway criterion with an owner and due date.
  5. Sign off the runway audit. The scorecard and branded report generate automatically.

What Does a Runway Audit Cover?

A runway audit scores condition against ICAO Annex 14 and FAA Part 139, checking pavement cracking and rubber deposits, runway and threshold markings, approach and runway edge lighting, surface friction and standing water, and foreign object debris. Each runway finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the failing point. So the runway audit becomes a traceable evidence pack, not an ageing spreadsheet.

What Gets Checked

  • Pavement cracking and rubber deposits
  • Runway and threshold markings
  • Approach and runway edge lighting
  • Surface friction and standing water
  • Foreign object debris

Common Defects It Surfaces

  • Rubber build-up reducing friction
  • Foreign object debris
  • Faded threshold markings
  • Unserviceable approach lighting
  • Ponding from poor drainage

Evidence Captured

  • Friction test record
  • FOD find log
  • Lighting and marking photo

Templates align to ICAO Annex 14, FAA Part 139.

How Runway Audit App Scores a Runway Audit

Step 1
InspectWrk workflow step: Score Consistently

What Runway Teams Fix When Audits Are Scored the Same Way Everywhere

Runway work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Runway Audit App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.

Runway Audit App: You find out about a runway problem from a complaint

You find out about a runway problem from a complaint

There is no live view of runway status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the runway is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.

Problem

  • No live view of runway status across sites
  • Runway problems surface as complaints, not as data
  • Runway risk is invisible until it becomes an incident

Solution

  • Live multi-site dashboard of runway completion and open issues
  • Runway risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
  • Configurable dashboards filter runway results by site and date
Runway Audit App: Every auditor scores the runway audit differently, so sites cannot be compared

Every auditor scores the runway audit differently, so sites cannot be compared

One auditor is strict, another is lenient, and a third skips sections. The runway audit scores come back, but leadership cannot tell whether a low score means a weak site or a tough auditor.

Problem

  • Runway scoring depends on which auditor showed up
  • Runway sections get skipped with no record
  • Runway scores are not comparable across sites

Solution

  • Weighted runway criteria baked into the audit template
  • Mandatory runway sections, so nothing is skipped
  • Comparable runway scores that roll up across the estate
Runway Audit App: Assigned contractor signs off the runway fix, and nobody checks it

Assigned contractor signs off the runway fix, and nobody checks it

A defect on the runway is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the runway defect is marked closed. Whether the runway work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.

Problem

  • Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
  • Poor runway fixes are only found at the next inspection
  • No record of which runway partners actually perform

Solution

  • Closure photo required before any runway action is signed off
  • Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
  • Re-opened runway actions linked back to the original finding

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Runway Audit App check on a runway audit?

Runway Audit App runs a scored runway audit against ICAO Annex 14 and FAA Part 139, checking pavement cracking and rubber deposits, runway and threshold markings, approach and runway edge lighting, surface friction and standing water, and foreign object debris. Each finding is logged with a photo, a severity, and the point it fails, then routed to an owner with a deadline. It stays open until a reviewer verifies the fix, so the audit becomes a traceable evidence pack for airside operations teams rather than an ageing spreadsheet. Because scoring is built into the template, two sites assessed by two people produce numbers you can compare fairly.

Which runway defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?

The audit targets the runway failures that matter most: rubber build-up reducing friction, foreign object debris, faded threshold markings, and unserviceable approach lighting. Left unchecked, a fault such as rubber build-up reducing friction can mean downtime, a safety incident, or a failed audit, so every finding becomes an owned task with a deadline. It stays open until photo proof of the repair is reviewed, and repeat problems are flagged so airside operations teams fix the cause rather than the symptom. Prioritising by severity means the most serious issues are handled first, not whichever was reported loudest.

Which standards does Runway Audit App support for runway work?

Runway Audit App keeps runway checks aligned to ICAO Annex 14 and FAA Part 139. The photos and readings each standard expects are required fields, so an incomplete check cannot be closed and a gap is caught before an assessor finds it. When a review is due, airside operations teams pull the records for the site in scope with one search instead of rebuilding them from folders. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.

Can teams run runway checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Runway Audit App is offline-first: teams complete runway checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing photos and the evidence each check requires in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So airside operations teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a remote or low-signal area never costs a round or loses a photo.

What evidence proves a runway audit was completed?

Every completed runway audit carries friction test record, FOD find log, and lighting and marking photo, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, airside operations teams can show exactly what was checked, when, and by whom. When an assessor or client asks, the record exports in seconds as a branded PDF or a searchable history, so proof never depends on someone remembering where a photo was saved or which folder holds last quarter's records.
