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, and TVCs in the CF are defined as those for which at least half of the OBs have been labelled as ‘transversal’. </p><p> </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. 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> ER -
