The problem this software solves

Low reservoir pressure

Reported by voice or chat, low reservoir pressure is caught late and logged with no evidence tied to the asset.

Girt bar not armed

Girt bar not armed goes unrecorded between rounds, so there is no proof it was found, owned, or fixed.

Damaged pack or seal

On a manual round damaged pack or seal is easy to miss, and hard to defend to an auditor after the fact.

Failed deployment

Failed deployment lands in a photo thread with no owner, deadline, or audit trail behind it.

How the software solves it

InspectWrk runs the whole escape slides inspection cycle on one mobile system, from the scan to the signed-off report. Here is the loop your team follows.

  1. 1

    Inspect

    Open the right escape slides checklist by scanning the asset or location QR tag.

  2. 2

    Capture

    Record photos, readings, and signatures, offline where signal is poor.

  3. 3

    Find

    AI flags likely defects from the photo and the inspector confirms or overrides.

  4. 4

    Correct

    A failed item becomes an owned action with a severity and a deadline.

  5. 5

    Verify

    The finding stays open until a named approver signs off proof of the fix.

  6. 6

    Report

    A branded report generates on close-out and dashboards update across sites.

Workflow

How Does an Escape Slide Inspection Run from Reservoir Pressure Check to Continuing Airworthiness Records?

The inspection workflow, end to end: Plan → Inspect → Capture evidence → Record findings → Correct → Re-inspect → Report. Every step happens on one system, so nothing falls between the field and the office.

  1. 1

    Configure the Escape Slides Inspection Template

    Your escape slides controls become a mobile template with required photos and readings on pressure gauge and cylinder, girt bar and arming, pack condition and seals, deployment test where due, and service and overhaul dates, aligned to EASA Part-145 and component maintenance manual, so every site inspects to the same standard from day one.

  2. 2

    Capture the Escape Slides Check in the Field

    Inspectors complete the escape slides inspection on iOS or Android, offline where signal is poor, recording pressure gauge photo, arming status photo, and service date record against each point before a named sign-off can close the round.

  3. 3

    Route Escape Slides Findings to Verified Closure

    A failed item such as low reservoir pressure becomes an owned task with a severity and a deadline, and stays open until photo proof of the fix is reviewed, so escape slides defects do not resurface unnoticed.

  4. 4

    Report Escape Slides Performance

    Every escape slides inspection feeds live dashboards and branded exports, so cabin and line engineering teams see completion, overdue actions, and risk per site without assembling a report by hand.

Capabilities

What the software handles for escape slides inspection

The capabilities that matter for this workflow, and what your team can do with each one.

Reservoir Pressure Capture

Each slide reservoir cylinder pressure is logged against the green band with a gauge photo and a low-reading flag. Why it matters: a slide reservoir below the green band may not deploy and inflate when crew arm the door in an evacuation.

Girt Bar Engagement Check

Door arming and girt bar engagement are confirmed on a structured step per door with photo and named sign-off. Why it matters: a girt bar left disengaged means the slide will not deploy when the door is opened in emergency mode.

Pack Date and Overhaul Clocks

Pack-board condition, packing date, and the next overhaul interval are tracked per slide serial. Why it matters: a slide past its overhaul interval found at a line check grounds the aircraft and disrupts the schedule.

Defect Routing and Closure

Findings become tracked defects with owner, deadline, and verified closure. Why it matters: a noted slide issue with no owner is the gap an audit exposes.

Fleet Slide Dashboard

Reservoir pressure status, overhaul dates, and open defects roll up across tail numbers and door positions. Why it matters: the safety manager sees fleet slide status without calling each base.

Per-tail Evidence Export

A branded slide records pack exports per aircraft for the authority. Why it matters: an auditor request becomes a minutes-long export, not a binder search.

Coverage

What Does an Escape Slides Inspection Cover?

An escape slides inspection covers pressure gauge and cylinder, girt bar and arming, pack condition and seals, deployment test where due, and service and overhaul dates. Cabin and line engineering teams capture a photo and a reading on each escape slides point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the escape slides round off. So every escape slides record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.

Rollout

How Should Airlines and MRO Teams Pilot Digital Slide Inspections Before Fleet Rollout?

Pilot on One Aircraft Type

Start with a single fleet type so the slide asset list, door positions, AMM task cards, and overhaul clocks are validated against real serial numbers before rollout to mixed types and other bases.

Access and Roles

Cabin crew get preflight door capture only, line engineers get scheduled task sign-off, and continuing airworthiness gets read access to the full evidence trail per tail number through role-based access.

Before You Switch

Common Questions Before You Start

We already run escape slides checks on paper. Do we have to change our process?

No. Your existing checklist becomes a mobile template, so the same checks run with photos, timestamps, and named sign-off attached. Only the capture changes.

Will field teams actually use it?

The check runs on the device they already carry, works offline where signal drops, and opens the right checklist from a QR scan, so there is no typing from memory.

What happens when a defect is found?

It becomes an owned action with a severity and a deadline, and stays open until a named approver verifies the fix with photo proof.

Frequently Asked Questions About Escape Slides Inspection Software

What does Escape Slides Inspection Software check on an escape slides inspection?

Escape Slides Inspection Software runs a structured escape slides inspection covering pressure gauge and cylinder, girt bar and arming, pack condition and seals, deployment test where due, and service and overhaul dates. Each point is captured on mobile with a photo and a reading, and a named inspector signs the round off before it can close. The same template runs on every site, so cabin and line engineering teams work to one standard rather than a version that drifts between locations. Every record proves what was checked, when, and by whom, so the evidence is ready long before an assessor asks for it.

How often should an escape slides inspection be done?

How often escape slides checks run depends on duty, risk, and the standard you follow. Some are daily or pre-use; others run weekly, monthly, or at a statutory interval. Escape Slides Inspection Software sets the cadence per site, reminds cabin and line engineering teams before a round is due, and flags anything overdue automatically. Each completed round is timestamped and signed, so the schedule is provably kept rather than assumed, and you can show exactly when the last check happened for any asset.

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

The inspection targets the escape slides failures that matter most: low reservoir pressure, girt bar not armed, damaged pack or seal, and failed deployment. Left unchecked, a fault such as low reservoir pressure 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 cabin and line engineering 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 Escape Slides Inspection Software support for escape slides work?

Escape Slides Inspection Software keeps escape slides checks aligned to EASA Part-145 and component maintenance manual. 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, cabin and line engineering teams export a branded evidence pack built from pressure gauge photo, arming status photo, and service date record, ready to hand over on the spot. Retention and history stay searchable, so proof remains defensible at any point, not only on the day of an audit.

Can teams run escape slides checks offline and across multiple sites?

Yes. Escape Slides Inspection Software is offline-first: teams complete escape slides checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing pressure gauge photo, arming status photo, and service date record in the field. Each record syncs automatically when the connection returns, with its timestamp intact, and the same template runs on every site. So cabin and line engineering teams get a live view of what is complete, overdue, or failing per location, and a weak connection in a plant room or basement never costs a round or loses a photo.

What evidence proves an escape slides inspection was completed?

Every completed escape slides inspection carries pressure gauge photo, arming status photo, and service date record, a GPS location, a timestamp, and a named sign-off. Because the evidence is captured during the round rather than typed up afterwards, cabin and line engineering 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.
