Never miss an annual inspection
Each venue carries its inspection month. The dashboard lists who is due this month and who is overdue, and completing an inspection sets next year's date, so the yearly work comes back on schedule.
For stage rigging inspectors and service companies
Theatrical rigging inspection software for small rigging companies
FlyLine Inspect is theatrical rigging inspection software for small rigging companies that inspect fly systems in schools, theaters and churches every year. Each venue keeps its annual due date and line set list; checks and deficiencies are recorded on a phone, the report goes out the same day, and every deficiency is followed until it is fixed.
What you can retire
The Word template, the due-date spreadsheet and the photo texts
The Word report template
Typed up at night after the visit, one line set at a time, and it looks a little different every year.
The venue spreadsheet
Due months for every school and church live in one sheet, so a venue that slips past its year is only noticed when it calls.
Phone photos sent by text
The picture of the frayed cable is in a text thread, not next to the line set it belongs to.
A generic form app
It captures one form at a time and forgets the venue: no line set list, no last year, no follow-up on repairs.
Deficiencies tracked until fixed
Every frayed cable and worn rope lock, from the rail to the re-check
A deficiency listed in a report and then forgotten is the repair you never quoted. Here each one has a status, and the right person moves it along.
- 1
Found
The inspector flags it at the rail with a photo and a severity: out of service now, repair soon, or monitor.
- 2
Quoted
The office adds a price and the recommended fix. Nothing waits in someone's inbox.
- 3
Approved
The venue contact approves or declines it in their portal, with a note for the file.
- 4
Repaired
A repair visit is booked with the technician; marking it done moves every item on it.
- 5
Verified
On the re-check the inspector marks it verified, and the line set goes back in service.
Stage rigging inspections, start to finish
Built around the venue and its line set schedule
Line set by line set, on your phone
Walk the fly system with the venue's line set list and tap OK, deficiency or not inspected for each. Every tap is saved on its own, so a weak signal on the loading rail costs you one tap, not the visit.
Stage rigging inspection reports in one click
Complete the inspection and the report is done: your logo and footer, every line set checked, deficiencies by severity with photos, and the next due date. Send the venue a link, or print it to PDF.
Last year's findings, first
Before the inspector starts, the page lists what was found at this venue last time and anything still open, so known problems get checked first.
Your inspection year
Summer fills up first
Many schools want their annual rigging inspection done while the stage is empty in summer. Seeing every venue's inspection month on one year shows you that crunch early, while there is still time to move a few venues to the spring.

A portal for the school or theater
The facility manager stops calling for last year's report
On the Company plan, each venue contact gets a login that shows only their venue: past inspection reports, which line sets are out of service, open deficiencies, and the next inspection date. Quoted repairs are approved or declined right there, with a note.

Questions
Rigging inspection questions we get asked
Updated October 10, 2026
How often should stage rigging be inspected?
ANSI E1.47, the entertainment rigging inspection standard, recommends an inspection of every system at least once a year, and again after installation, alteration or repair. FlyLine Inspect gives each venue an inspection month and a next due date, and has post-repair and post-install inspection types for the in-between visits.
What are the rigging inspection requirements for a school auditorium?
Requirements come from the standard, the manufacturer, the district and sometimes the insurer, so they vary. What they share is a written record: what was inspected, by whom, when, what was wrong and what was done about it. That record is what the report and the deficiency history keep for you.
Who holds the account, the venue or the rigging company?
For the rigging company: the dealer, installer or independent ETCP-certified rigger who inspects many venues. Venues get a read-only portal on the Company plan, but the account belongs to you.
Does it work with no signal in the fly gallery?
There is no offline mode. Each line set check is saved the moment you tap it, so a dropped connection loses at most the last tap, and the page picks up where you left off when signal comes back.
What goes in the stage rigging inspection report?
The venue and client, the date and inspector, the overall result, a summary, every line set or rigging item with its result, each deficiency with severity, photo, recommended action and quote, the next due date, and your own logo and footer line.
Can the school or theater see the report?
Yes, two ways. Send a report link by email from the inspection page, which anyone with the link can open without signing in. Or, on the Company plan, invite the venue contact: they see their own venue's reports, out-of-service line sets and open deficiencies, and approve or decline quoted repairs.
How do I load the venues I already track?
Paste or upload a CSV with one row per line set (or per venue). Venues are matched by name, so importing the same sheet twice adds nothing.
What happens after the free trial?
For 30 days you can use everything without a card. After that your records stay readable, and adding or changing them needs a plan. Solo is $29 a month for one person and 40 venues.
