Using the Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering Method to Examine Human Factors in Indonesian Aviation Accidents

Abstract

This study aims to provide a comprehensive source of knowledge regarding aviation accidents in Indonesia caused by human factors, which are the most significant among other causative elements, requiring a detailed assessment of the accident as a result of pilot and co-pilot faults while operating the aircraft. The KNKT website database is still in the form of accident reports. To this end, the retrieved information based on historical data for 23 years of accidents caused by humans by analyzing the data using the clustering approach to gain data insight in the relationship between total flying hours and pilot licenses. The data analysis revealed that, in general, the aircraft operator complied with the CASR standards.
