This research proposes FlightLLM, a hybrid architecture combining CatBoost classifiers with Large Language Models to enhance explainability in aviation safety analysis. By integrating physical indicators and domain-specific priors into semantic reasoning, the approach addresses critical limitations like data scarcity and modal inconsistency inherent when applying general LLMs to specialized engineering tasks. The study demonstrates that bridging statistical rigor with language-based interpretation is essential for generating operationally meaningful insights from complex flight datasets.
Can Large Language Models Explain Flight Safety Events? A Prior-Guided Semantic LLM-based Approach
arXiv:2608.18017v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Improving flight safety with flight data requires not only accurate detection of risk events, but more importantly, clear interpretation of their underlying causes at the level of pilot control behavior. Existing explainable AI techniques, such as feature importance maps, often require considerable domain knowledge to translate them into operationally meaningful explanations. Large Language Models (LLMs), which excel at language reasoning, bring a promising solution to this issue. However, applying LLMs in this domain presents key challenges such as modal inconsistency, limited classification ability, scarcity of task-specific data for fine-tuning, and lack of domain knowledge. To overcome these challenges, we propose FlightLLM, a prior-guided semantic LLM-based approach for interpretable flight safety analysis. Specifically, we first perform feature engineering to address modal inconsistency, combining statistical descriptors with physically meaningful flight indicators. This representation is further processed by a Semantic Discretization module, which converts abstract numerical patterns into qualitative descriptions that are more compatible with language reasoning. In addition, since LLMs are not inherently strong classifiers, CatBoost is incorporated as a statistical expert, and its prediction results are injected into the prompt as prior guidance. A contrastive few-shot learning strategy is further adopted to compensate for limited data. Finally, we design structured prompts to embed aviation-specific knowledge into the inference process. Using hard landing, a representative risk event with complex causal mechanisms, as an anchor point, we evaluate FlightLLM on a dataset of 704 real-world A320 flight samples. Experimental results show that the proposed approach achieves competitive classification performance while generating direct and reasonable explanations for event causes.
