Ringa Hora Services Workforce Development Council (WDC) has completed the review of the unit standards listed above.
Date new versions published March 2023
Planned review date December 2027
Summary
Ringa Hora Services WDC reviewed 20 unit standards within the Air Traffic Services domain to verify whether the standards still meet the requirements of the relevant Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Syllabi for the Air Traffic Services.
Consultation was carried out between September and December 2022 with subject matter experts from New Zealand’s Air Traffic Services provider by email and in person, requesting feedback and amendments to ensure the unit standards reflected current industry requirements. Feedback was incorporated where valid.
Main changes
· Purpose statements, guidance information, outcomes, performance criteria, and range statements were amended where applicable to ensure they are accurate and fit for purpose, reflect the standard content, and to ensure clarity for users in line with international regulatory requirements.
· Unit standard 28045 was replaced by new unit standards 33165 and 33167 to separate out aeronautical meteorology and air navigation.
· Credits for unit standards 28044, 28046, and 28049 were amended to better reflect the time required for learning and assessment.
· Unit standards 23461 and 23462 were set to expire without replacement as they are no longer required.
Impact on Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR)
Reviewed standards were moved from CMR 0174 to CMR 0028.
