This knowledge-based unit standard is one of a series intended
for people under training to gain authorisation to certify, to
European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) standards, the release
to service of aircraft or aeronautical components following
maintenance or repair.
People credited with this unit standard are able to demonstrate
knowledge of propulsion for aeronautical engineering (EASA 147
Maintenance). This will be evidenced by meeting the
requirements of the (EASA) Aircraft Maintenance Licence
examination, as mandated in European Commission Regulation
No 2042/2003.

Please note
Providers must be granted consent to assess against standards (accredited) by NZQA,
before they can report credits from assessment against unit standards or deliver courses
of study leading to that assessment.
Industry Training Organisations must be granted consent to assess against standards by
NZQA before they can register credits from assessment against unit standards.
Providers and Industry Training Organisations, which have been granted consent and
which are assessing against unit standards must engage with the moderation system that
applies to those standards.
Requirements for consent to assess and an outline of the moderation system that applies
to this standard are outlined in the Consent and Moderation Requirements (CMR). The
CMR also includes useful information about special requirements for organisations wishing
to develop education and training programmes, such as minimum qualifications for tutors
