The problem this software solves
Rubber build-up reducing friction
Reported by voice or chat, rubber build-up reducing friction is caught late and logged with no evidence tied to the asset.
Foreign object debris
Foreign object debris goes unrecorded between rounds, so there is no proof it was found, owned, or fixed.
Faded threshold markings
On a manual round faded threshold markings is easy to miss, and hard to defend to an auditor after the fact.
Unserviceable approach lighting
Unserviceable approach lighting lands in a photo thread with no owner, deadline, or audit trail behind it.
How the software solves it
InspectWrk runs the whole runway safety inspection cycle on one mobile system, from the scan to the signed-off report. Here is the loop your team follows.
- 1
Inspect
Open the right runway safety checklist by scanning the asset or location QR tag.
- 2
Capture
Record photos, readings, and signatures, offline where signal is poor.
- 3
Find
AI flags likely defects from the photo and the inspector confirms or overrides.
- 4
Correct
A failed item becomes an owned action with a severity and a deadline.
- 5
Verify
The finding stays open until a named approver signs off proof of the fix.
- 6
Report
A branded report generates on close-out and dashboards update across sites.
Workflow
How Does Runway Safety Run from a FOD Find or Hazard to a Tracked SMS Action and Trend?
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
Configure the Runway Inspection Template
For runway safety field teams, your runway controls become a mobile template with required photos and readings on pavement cracking and rubber deposits, runway and threshold markings, approach and runway edge lighting, surface friction and standing water, and foreign object debris, aligned to ICAO Annex 14 and FAA Part 139, so every site inspects to the same standard from day one.
- 2
Capture the Runway Check in the Field
Across multi-site runway safety rounds, inspectors complete the runway inspection on iOS or Android, offline where signal is poor, recording friction test record, FOD find log, and lighting and marking photo against each point before a named sign-off can close the round.
- 3
Route Runway Findings to Verified Closure
Where runway safety evidence has to hold up, A failed item such as rubber build-up reducing friction becomes an owned task with a severity and a deadline, and stays open until photo proof of the fix is reviewed, so runway defects do not resurface unnoticed.
- 4
Report Runway Performance
Every runway inspection feeds live dashboards and branded exports, so airside operations teams see completion, overdue actions, and risk per site without assembling a report by hand.
Capabilities
What the software handles for runway safety
The capabilities that matter for this workflow, and what your team can do with each one.
Structured FOD Find Logging
Each FOD find is logged by object type, location, and photo. Why it matters: a recurring FOD source at a runway end is only fixable once the pattern is visible rather than binned and forgotten.
Wildlife Hazard Reporting
Sightings and strikes are logged by species, location, and time. Why it matters: rising activity is the early signal that should drive the wildlife hazard plan before a strike occurs.
Surface Contamination Logging
Water, snow, ice, and spill contamination is logged with coverage and photo. Why it matters: a contamination decision and its clearance must be traceable for a safety review.
SMS Hazard Routing
Each hazard routes into the SMS with an owner, risk rating, and mitigation. Why it matters: a hazard with no owner is the gap an incident investigation exposes.
Safety Trend Dashboard
FOD, wildlife, and contamination events trend per section over time. Why it matters: the safety manager targets resources where risk is concentrating instead of guessing.
Per-runway Safety Evidence Export
A branded safety evidence pack exports per runway for a review or audit. Why it matters: a review request becomes a minutes-long export, not a hunt across radio logs and forms.
Coverage
What Does a Runway Inspection Cover?
A runway inspection covers pavement cracking and rubber deposits, runway and threshold markings, approach and runway edge lighting, surface friction and standing water, and foreign object debris. Airside operations teams capture a photo and a reading on each runway point. They work offline where signal is poor, then sign the runway round off. So every runway record proves what was checked, when, and by whom.
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

Comparison
Paper and spreadsheets vs InspectWrk
Where paper and spreadsheets fall short against InspectWrk on the runway safety inspection job.
| Capability | Paper / spreadsheets | With InspectWrk |
|---|---|---|
| Inspection execution | Checks like pavement cracking and rubber deposits are run on paper or from memory, so coverage and cadence vary by inspector and shift. | Guided runway safety templates run the same way every time, with required fields and photos before sign-off. |
| Evidence capture | Photos sit on personal phones and in chat threads with no link to the asset or the check. | Evidence attaches to the record at the point of work, with inspector, timestamp, and location. |
| Defect identification | A fault such as rubber build-up reducing friction is spotted late or missed entirely between rounds. | AI surfaces likely defects from the photo and the inspector confirms the finding on the spot. |
| Corrective action | Failed items are noted but ownership, deadlines, and proof of the fix are unclear. | Each failure becomes a tracked action with an owner, a due date, and photo-verified closure. |
| Reporting | Reports are assembled by hand and ICAO Annex 14 evidence is hard to retrieve, days after the round. | Reports generate on close-out aligned to ICAO Annex 14, and managers see status across every site live. |
Rollout
How Should an Airport Pilot Digital Runway Safety Before Rolling It Out to Every Pavement?
Pilot on One Runway
Start with a single runway so FOD, wildlife, and contamination capture and the SMS routing are validated against real safety sections and hazard categories before rollout to taxiways, aprons, and a second runway.
Access and Roles
Airside teams get hazard capture, the airside operations manager gets the open-hazard view, and the safety manager gets the SMS trend and closure picture per runway through role-based access.
Before You Switch
Common Questions Before You Start
We already run runway safety 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 Runway Safety Software
What does Runway Safety Software check on a runway inspection?
Runway Safety Software runs a structured runway inspection 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 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 airside operations 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 a runway inspection be done?
How often runway 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. Runway Safety Software sets the cadence per site, reminds airside operations 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. Runway Safety Software is the mobile tool Warehouse Managers use to run runway safety inspections across every aviation site from one app.
Which runway defects matter most, and what happens if they are missed?
The inspection 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 Safety Software support for runway work?
Runway Safety Software 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 export a branded evidence pack built from friction test record, FOD find log, and lighting and marking photo, 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 runway checks offline and across multiple sites?
Yes. Runway Safety Software is offline-first: teams complete runway checks on iOS or Android with no signal, capturing friction test record, FOD find log, and lighting and marking photo 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 plant room or basement never costs a round or loses a photo.
What evidence proves a runway inspection was completed?
Every completed runway inspection 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.
