Case Study: Rapid City Regional Airport cuts inspection reporting time in half with Aerosimple

Rapid City Regional Airport cuts inspection reporting time by 52% with Aerosimple

Rapid City Regional Airport faced the challenge of managing its FAA Part 139 compliance and daily airfield operations using inefficient, fragmented paper-based processes and spreadsheets. This system made it difficult to track findings and quickly surface historical records, creating administrative burdens and compliance risks for its small operations team. The airport selected Aerosimple as its airport operations platform to gain a more systematic approach.

By implementing Aerosimple, the airport digitized its critical workflows, including airfield inspections, work order management, and wildlife reporting. The solution resulted in a 52% reduction in inspection reporting time and cut the average work order close-out from five days to just two. Most significantly, the airport achieved zero FAA Part 139 findings in its next inspection cycle, with Aerosimple providing the audit-ready documentation and operational visibility needed for confidence.
