abstract: "<p>This dataset contains qualitative data and quantitative survey data to answer the following research questions:</p><p>The main research question is: <strong>which Transversal Competencies from ICAO’s Competency Framework for Aircraft Maintenance Personnel are both considered crucial yet difficult to objectively assess by the aviation industry?</strong></p><p>From this main question the following sub research questions were developed:</p><p>1. Which competencies and OBs from ICAO’s CF for AMP can be objectively labelled as ‘transversal’?</p><p>2. Which TVCs from ICAO’s CF for AMP are highest prioritized by the aviation industry?</p><p>3. Which underlying OBs from of the highest prioritized TVCs are considered most important by the aviation industry?</p><p>4. Which underlying OBs from of the highest prioritized TVCs are considered hardest to assess by the aviation industry?</p><p><br></p><p>To answer the first sub-question, the interrater-reliability was calculated based on how four raters labelled all 89 OBs. Only when ≥ 3 raters labelled an OB as ‘transversal’ it was adopted as such,&nbsp;and TVCs in the CF are defined as those for which at least half of the OBs have been labelled as ‘transversal’.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To answer the second, third and fourth research questions, an online <em>Qualtrics </em>Likert-scale survey was distributed among aviation experts at three different international aviation conferences in April, May and July 2023.&nbsp;Ethical permission for this study was granted by the Human Research Ethics Committee of the TU Delft (reference 2845).</p><p><br></p><p>More background information is provided in the README file.</p>"
