Instilling trust in machine learning is critical for businesses in their efforts to interpret and get insights into data, and to make their analytical choices accessible and subject to accountability. In the field of aviation, the innovative application of machine learning and analytics can facilitate an understanding of the risk of accidents and other incidents . These occur infrequently, generally in an irregular, unpredictable manner, and cause significant disruptions, and hence, they are classified as \"highimpact, low-probability\" (HILP) events . Aviation incident reports are inspected by experts, but it is also important to have a comprehensive overview of incidents and their holistic effects. This study providesan interpretable machine-learning framework for predicting aircraft damage. In addition, it describes patterns of flight specifications detected through the use of a simulation tool and illuminates the underlying reasons for specific aviation accidents. As a result, we can predict the aircraft damage with 85% accuracy and 84% in-class accuracy. Most important, we simulate a combination of possible flight-type, aircraft-type, and pilot-expertise combinations to arrive at insights, and we recommend actions that can be taken by aviation stakeholders, such as airport managers, airlines, flight training companies, and aviation policy makers . In short, we combine predictive results with simulations to interpret findings and prescribe actions .  \nKeywords: Business Analytics, Machine Learning, Decision Support Systems, Big Data, Aviation Risk Modeling, Business Inferences with Machine Learning  \n1. Introduction  \nIt is difficult to learn from aviation incidents since it is difficult to find the same combination offactors – aircraft, flight type, and pilot capabilities – in various incidents. Every incident has distinct characteristics, which makes it challenging to generalize any lessons learned to a broader scope of business decisions. The solution to this business problem calls for a simulation decision support system (DSS) to create scenarios and predict the likelihood of damage. A DSS could provide business insights by evaluating the inferences between variables and providing a what-if analysis to interpret incidents. Aviation is one of the earliest specialized fields because of its high-risk nature. Every incident is documented with detailed reports, which include records from devices, specifications ofthe nature of an event (such as the weather conditions and airfield data), and expert notes and judgments. We found that the severity of aircraft damage and the chains of events that cause incidents can be predicted; consequently, this study offers a way to apprehend the patterns that cause aviation incidents, by classifying them by flight type. In addition, using a simulation tool, what-if scenarios were analyzed, and actionable insights are offered to aviation decision-makers. The findings of this can help stakeholders by providing business insights mined from aviation incident reports.  \nFor the data, we used incident reports from the Federal Aviation Authority’s (FAA’s) Aviation Safety Information Analysis and Sharing (ASIAS) Accident and Incident Data System (AIDS) from 2000 to 2020, which include all aviation incidents that happened in the U.S. during that pe","cbCaidqKjfLD4SrP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidqKjfLD4SrP","pdf",899294,1,11,"English","en",105,"# Introduction\n## Problem background and decision support approach\n## Data source and dataset overview\n## Data preparation (CRISP-DM) and feature engineering\n## Modeling and simulation-based what-if analysis","[{\"question\":\"Why is trust and interpretability important for machine learning in business decisions?\",\"answer\":\"The document emphasizes that machine learning becomes valuable only when decision-makers depend on it for optimizing decisions.
