WELLINGTON, Dec. 11 (Xinhua) -- New Zealand aviation training bodies will be targeting China, India and Southeast Asia with the introduction of international-standard regulations next year, Associate Transport Minister Craig Foss said Friday.
Civil Aviation Rule Part 147 (Maintenance Training Organizations), which comes into force on Feb. 1, would enable New Zealand aircraft maintenance training organizations to more easily train overseas aircraft engineers.
"This rule will ensure New Zealand aligns with international best practice in certification and operation of aviation maintenance training organizations," Foss said in a statement.
New Zealand stood to gain from the opportunity to train overseas aircraft engineers with target markets including China, Indonesia, India, Vietnam and Malaysia.
To become Part 147 certificated, organizations undertaking specific types of aircraft maintenance training must demonstrate to the director of Civil Aviation how they would meet the requirements in Part 147.
The requirements related to aspects such as employing appropriately qualified staff, providing appropriate facilities, keeping accurate records and ensuring training courses and examinations are appropriately conducted.
