Recent research on mechanical diagnostics technology has revealed the possibility of utilizing advanced mechanical diagnostics technology capabilities in real-time environments. The goal of the current investigation was to conduct systematic interview's with flight crew regarding their information requirements for using new diagnostic systems to predict and mitigate inflight mechanical system emergencies. Future research in this area will determine how best to present information to the aircrew in order to improve aircrew safety and enhance mission effectiveness.
