Summary

 

This is the ninth 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 incorporatedThe 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.

·      Credits for unit standard 3931 were adjusted from 25 to 15 to align with other unit standards with same skill sets.

·      Unit standards 3934 and 30697 were designated to expire as they contain skills and knowledge covered by other unit standards.

 

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The last date for assessment of superseded versions of Category B unit standards is December 2022
