GateKeeper Systems Launches Revamped & Redesigned APP-139 Application
Newly-updated software includes a wide variety of new features, functionality and fixes.
General
- Improved device compatibility! By leveraging the modern, more powerful, web browser but designing for a tablet, GateKeeper App-139 can now be used on any internet-connected device, without the need to download or update a dedicated app. While accessing GateKeeper App-139 via a phone will still work, doing so isn’t recommended for daily use, as there is not enough screen real estate to have a great experience with the map.
- Reminders can now be added to most items, including inspections and work orders.
Inspections
- Merged functionality between SPI & Part-139 inspections brings consistency and efficiency to the inspection process, including the ability to add work orders, carryovers, and notes to both types of inspections.
- The capability of having layers (saved locations) for any facility is expanded.
- Simultaneous inspections can now be performed; there is no limit to the number of inspections that can be performed at one time.
- Airport staff can create and customize as many Part-139 and SPIs as they would like. Personalized checklists, or customized facilities and conditions on out-of-the-box inspections, can also be created.
SPIs
- Work orders can be added directly from the inspection, just like with Part-139 inspections.
- Responses can now be marked in bulk.
- Sub-types with separate checklists can be created.
Work Orders
- Work orders can now be added without an inspection! Any open work order that is not closed by the time of the next eligible inspection will automatically show up as a carryover.
- In addition to being able to save inspection photos, GateKeeper App-139 now allows adding multiple document types to inspections, including reports, certificates, insurance policies, etc.
- New, robust filtering for work orders, including some default filters by department, makes finding work order information easier than ever.
- Users can now add multiple “in process” work orders!
NOTAMs
- Users no longer need to enter NOTAM information! GateKeeper App-139 now automatically “pulls” in open NOTAMs information for your airport from an FAA data feed and will associate the open NOTAMs with the inspection at the time of inspection.
Dashboard
- Access common information about the system from the home page, such as open work orders, open NOTAMs, and reminders for scheduled inspections and maintenance.
Enhanced Search, Reporting, and Insights
- With more information available to capture, such as attached work orders to SPIs, searching and reporting is now easier and more effective with more data points.
Reliability and Flexibility
- While not visible to App-139 users, substantial improvements to the software code make future changes less complicated, improve response time, and increased our ability to find and fix software issues in a timely manner.
