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 seventh set of a wider review of all unit standards in the Aeronautical Engineering subfield. The review was undertaken in consultation with the Aeronautical Engineering industry which included Air New Zealand, Royal New Zealand Air Force, Air New Zealand Engine Workplace, and Nelson Marlborough Institute of Technology, to ensure the standards’ relevance, as the technology associated with aircraft has become more sophisticated. The consultation for the review took place in May 2019.
The initial meeting was held at ServiceIQ in Wellington with industry around a table. The standards were taken back to the workplace and suggestions were made to ServiceIQ regarding changes to be incorporated. The unit standards were checked, and content confirmed that these standards reflect the needs of the aeronautical engineering industry and are in line with international regulatory requirements.
Main changes
· Unit standards were transferred to the current template and terminology was updated accordingly.
· Outcomes, performance criteria, range statements, and guidance information were updated to reflect the needs of the aeronautical engineering industry, and in line with international regulatory requirements.
· Stems of some of range statements were amended.
· Titles for some standards were amended to better reflect the content.
