Summary

 

This revision was prompted following the standards’ review in 2013.  A small team of specialists from Airways, sole users of the standards, met in September 2014 and revised the content of this standard.

 

Changes were made to the evidence requirements and range statements of the standard for clarity and to ensure alignment with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Civil Aviation Authority of New Zealand (CAANZ) regulatory requirements, resulting in the credits being increased.

 

The unit standard changes were endorsed by Airways in September 2014.

 

Main changes

 

·         Evidence requirements and range statements were updated to reflect the present needs of the Air Traffic Services in line with international regulatory requirements.

·         Credits increased from 30 to 45 to better reflect the amount, and nature, of learning required of Air Traffic Controllers, along with the increased times for assessment.
