Major airports like Miami International Airport (MIA) require an operational certificate to ensure the safety in air transportation. As a Part 139 Certificated airport, one of the many required components of the Part 139 Certificate include conducting the daily airfield Self-Inspection. At the time of this project, these inspections were performed and cataloged using paper data collection. The solution created for MIA is a digital transformation known as the MIA Operations Dashboards that combines ArcGIS Operations Dashboards and Survey123 in an ESRI Story Map. It is the result of a collaborative effort between MIA, ITD/Geospatial Solutions and ESRI. The app is intuitive, with smart inspections forms and dashboards. It helps to visualize inspections and discrepancy data in real-time, creating historical data and identifying trends, instead of sticking to static data on a paper map.
