ServiceIQ has completed the revision of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published November 2017
Planned review date for revised standards (unchanged) December 2018
Planned review date for new standards December 2022
Summary
As a result of changes in technology, amendments were identified in the four revised standards.
During the consultation and research, additional gaps in technology requirements were identified, which were supported by the wider industry sector. New standards were developed to address these gaps.
Main changes
· A range statement was amended in standard 3932 to allow for mechanical and/or electrical brakes, and the credit value was increased from 10 to 12 credits.
· The range under performance criterion 2.1 of standard 4003 was amended as not all processes are carried out.
· The credit value of standard 22557 was decreased from 40 to 20 credits due to changes in the amount of repair work that can be carried out on aircraft digital computer equipment.
· The range under performance criterion 4.2 of standard 22933 was amended to include Cockpit Voice Recorder audio down loading, and read out of flight data.
· 12 new standards were developed across seven domains.
