Review of Aeronautical Engineering - Core unit standard

Subfield	Domain	ID
Aeronautical Engineering	Aeronautical Engineering – Core	28034

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

Date new versions published September 2015

Planned review date 31 December 2018

Summary

This unit standard seems to be a duplication of the “Direct Current” unit standard and industry has indicated that it will create a problem with the new New Zealand suite of qualifications. Aircraft technology has become more sophisticated, and certain skills were not covered by existing unit standards. New unit standards were developed to cover these skills.

Main changes

· Title, outcomes, evidence requirements, and range statements were updated to reflect the needs of the aeronautical engineering industry and in line with international regulatory requirements.

· Standards Powmaint and Roto were developed to fill specialist areas.
