Purpose
This qualification is designed for people who carry out the maintenance planning function
for organisations within the aviation industry.
The content recognises the following knowledge and skills in keeping with the Civil
Aviation Authority (CAA) regulatory requirements for this function
 Producing long-term maintenance forecast plans for an aircraft fleet and major aircraft
components.
 Monitor and control an aircraft maintenance activity.
 Planning aircraft maintenance activities using project management techniques.
 Defining and documenting the scope and work content of a planned aircraft
maintenance activity.
Candidates can progress through the National Certificate in Aircraft Servicing [Ref: 0171],
National Certificate in Aeronautical Engineering (Related Technology) [Ref: 0381],
National Certificate in Aeronautical Engineering (Support) with strands [Ref: 0191],
National Certificate in Aeronautical Engineering [Ref: 0192], and the National Diploma in
Aeronautical Maintenance Certification with strands [Ref: 1133] to reach this qualification.
Career progression beyond these specialist maintenance roles is most likely to be in
management, for which a range of management qualifications and/or training opportunities
is available depending on the needs and aspirations of the individual.
The National Certificate in Aeronautical Engineering (Maintenance Control) [Ref: 1132]
cannot be used as a career pathway to reach this qualification, as this is a stand-alone
qualification designed for any person within general aviation, employed in the
administration and management of maintenance control for an aviation engineering
organisation, and not the completion of maintenance work on an aircraft.
Special Notes
To be employed in the area of maintenance planning in New Zealand, a candidate will
need to meet the fit and proper person requirements outlined in Section 10 of the Civil
Aviation Act 1990.
Candidates are required to have achieved the National Certificate in Aeronautical
Engineering at Level 4 [Ref: 0192], or demonstrate equivalent knowledge and skills, prior
to commencing this qualification.
