This paper discusses that the
introduction of the Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM) has greatly enhanced the
phases involved in repair, diagnosis and maintenance of complex machinery; but there are still problems with the
interface. The author feels that issues on the capability of human skills involved in the process of IETM are big factors that serve as barriers in the true purpose of IETM. This proposal contains information on the insufficiencies of IETM and presents ideas for enhancement of display-interface features. Graphs and illustrations. Table of Contents
