ServiceIQ has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published March 2020
Planned review date December 2024
Summary
This is the first set of a review of all unit standards in the Aeronautical Engineering subfield. The review was undertaken in consultation with the aeronautical engineering industry as part of a scheduled review. Aircraft technology has become more sophisticated, and certain skills were not covered by existing unit standards. A new unit standard was developed to cover these skills. The reviewed unit standards were checked, and content confirmed that they reflect the needs of the aeronautical engineering industry and are in line with international regulatory requirements.
Main changes
· Outcomes, performance criteria, range statements, and guidance information were updated where required to reflect the needs of the aeronautical engineering industry, and in line with international regulatory requirements.
· Standard 31982 was developed to fill specialist areas.
· The titles for unit standards 4053-7, 17768, 17769 and 28138 were updated for clarity.
Detailed list of unit standards – classification, title, level, and credits
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 |
