ServiceIQ has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.

Date new versions published August 2014

Planned review date December 2018

Summary

This is the last stage of the review of all unit standards in the Aeronautical Engineering subfield. The review was undertaken in consultation with the Aeronautical Engineering industry to ensure the standards’ relevance, as the technology associated with aircraft has become more sophisticated.

Main changes

· The prerequisites for standards 10803-10806 were removed.

· Explanatory notes were updated for currency and consistency with other recently listed Aeronautical Engineering standards.

· Standard setting body details were updated following the merger of the Aviation, Tourism and Travel Training Organisation and ServiceIQ.

The last date for assessment of the superseded versions of these standards is 31 December 2016. Results will not be accepted where the assessment date is after the last date for assessment of the superseded version of the standard.

All changes are in bold.

Key to review category
A	Dates changed, but no other changes are made - the new version of the standard carries the same ID and a new version number
B	Changes made, but the overall outcome remains the same - the new version of the standard carries the same ID and a new version number
C	Major changes that necessitate the registration of a replacement standard with a new ID
D	Standard will expire and not be replaced
