Summary

 

This is the eighth 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.

·      Unit standards 22551 and 22930 were designated as expiring due to outdated equipment that is no longer used.

 

Category D unit standards will expire at the end of December 2021

 

The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2022

 

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
