Planned review date                                                                              December 2024

Summary

This is the fifth 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.

Main changes

· Outcome statements of some unit standards were updated to reflect the needs of the aeronautical engineering industry.

· Guidance information was updated in all unit standards to align with international regulatory requirements.

· Range statements of some standards were adjusted to clearly specify requirements for assessment.

· A new unit standard was developed to fill specialist areas related to safety management systems for an aviation environment.

· Titles of unit standards 28030, 28037, 28039 and 29820 were updated to accurately reflect the content of unit standards.

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2021

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
