Runway Surface Maintenance App keeps runway surface maintenance on schedule across every site. Technicians run PPM rounds on each runway surface, log rubber build-up reducing friction, foreign object debris, faded threshold markings, unserviceable approach lighting, and raise work orders that are tracked to verified closure. Managers see overdue runway surface service visits and asset risk before a breakdown, not after.
Runway Surface Maintenance App runs planned runway maintenance 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 Surface Maintenance 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 Surface Maintenance App?
A comprehensive runway inspection covers the key areas that affect operations and compliance. Run runway surface maintenance with scheduled tasks, defect tracking, and service history records. Your inspection 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 inspection finding is traceable.
How to Use Runway Surface Maintenance App
Preventive maintenance works when service visits actually happen on time. Follow these steps for each service visit:
Scan the runway surface QR code to open its service history and the due PPM checklist.
Run the maintenance round, checking for rubber build-up reducing friction, foreign object debris, faded threshold markings, unserviceable approach lighting and recording readings.
Log any defect with a photo and raise a work order with an owner and due date.
Record the work done and any parts used so the asset history stays complete.
Sign off. The dashboard updates service contract and PPM due dates for the next visit.
What Does Runway Maintenance Cover?
A runway maintenance round covers 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 task is scheduled per asset and done on mobile with photo evidence. It is logged to the runway service history. So runway upkeep is provable, not assumed.

How Runway Surface Maintenance App Keeps Runway Surface Maintenance on Track
Step 1
Open the Asset Record
A QR scan opens the runway surface history and the due PPM checklist.
Step 2
Service and Evidence
Technicians log rubber build-up reducing friction, foreign object debris, faded threshold markings, unserviceable approach lighting, readings, and parts with photo proof.
Step 3
Stay Ahead of Failure
Predictive alerts and service contract dates keep runway surface visits planned, not reactive.

What Maintenance Teams Fix When Runway Surface PPM Moves Off the Spreadsheet
Runway Surface work breaks down the moment evidence leaves the form. These are the problems Runway Surface Maintenance App is built to remove, and what the team gets back when it does.
Runway Surface PPM tracked on Excel, with no proof the visit happened
The maintenance schedule lives in a spreadsheet. A visit is marked done, but whether the technician actually serviced the runway surface or signed the sheet from the car park is anyone's guess.
Problem
Runway surface PPM schedules tracked on a spreadsheet
Runway surface visits marked done with no proof of work
Runway surface service contract renewals missed until a contract has lapsed
Solution
Service visits linked to the runway surface QR code
Geofenced photo evidence on every runway surface visit
Runway surface service contract and PPM due dates surfaced before they slip
Assigned contractor signs off the runway surface fix, and nobody checks it
A defect on the runway surface is handed to assigned contractor. A week later the runway surface defect is marked closed. Whether the runway surface work was done well, badly, or at all, nobody has verified.
Problem
Assigned contractor marks work closed with no verification
Poor runway surface fixes are only found at the next inspection
No record of which runway surface partners actually perform
Solution
Closure photo required before any runway surface action is signed off
Assigned contractor performance scored on closure speed and re-opens
Re-opened runway surface actions linked back to the original finding
You find out about a runway surface problem from a complaint
There is no live view of runway surface status across sites. The first sign that something failed on the runway surface is a client call or an incident, by which point the problem is already public.
Problem
No live view of runway surface status across sites
Runway Surface problems surface as complaints, not as data
Runway Surface risk is invisible until it becomes an incident
Solution
Live multi-site dashboard of runway surface completion and open issues
Runway Surface risk scoring flags sites trending to failure
Configurable dashboards filter runway surface results by site and date
Frequently Asked Questions
What does Runway Surface Maintenance App check on runway maintenance?
Runway Surface Maintenance App runs planned runway maintenance covering pavement cracking and rubber deposits, runway and threshold markings, approach and runway edge lighting, surface friction and standing water, and foreign object debris. Each task is scheduled per asset and completed on mobile with photo evidence, then logged to the service history, so airside operations teams can prove upkeep happened on time. Catching rubber build-up reducing friction on a planned visit avoids a reactive breakdown later. Due dates and overdue tasks surface on the dashboard before a service quietly lapses, which is the common and expensive gap when schedules live in a spreadsheet.
Which runway defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The maintenance 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 Surface Maintenance App support for runway work?
Runway Surface Maintenance 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 Surface Maintenance 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 runway maintenance was completed?
Every completed runway maintenance 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.
