Through his detailed descriptions of various piloting activities, Nevile provides the reader with actual situated and locally contingent practices of piloting an aircraft that no formal manual could ever provide” Lorena M. Jenkings, from review in the journal 'Sociology': “Synchronisation and coordination of verbal and non-verbal activities that could not be scripted, and the achievement of mutual understanding are well illustrated by transcript, photographs and description. With its analysis of situated action and language use in a complex technological environment it should be of interest to many different fields.' N.K. His study sheds new light on the organization of talk and action in a most interesting workplace.

REVIEW COMMENTS Professor Charles Goodwin, UCLA, USA:- 'Nevile gives us a most original study of cognition and action in the airline cockpit.he insightfully examines how use language and gestures linked to the equipment they are using to build consequential collaborative action. The term ‘talk-in-interaction’ reflects an interest here in not just talk, that is verbal aspects of interaction, but pilots’ use of a range of available resources as they make, and interpret as meaningful, contributions to their ongoing work together. It explores how, through processes of ‘talk-in-interaction’, pilots develop and make available to one another their situated and moment-to-moment understandings as they work together as a flight crew to perform necessary activities and tasks to fly their plane. The book considers how pilots talk and interact with one another, routinely, as they establish what is going on around them, who knows what, who is doing what, and what they are to do next. An airline pilot and researcher in ‘aviation human factors’ once described the goal of all airline pilots as ‘to get people from A to B without killing them’: this book explores the place of talk, or actually ‘talk-in-interaction’, in pilots’ achievement of this laudable goal. In so doing they accomplish in their moment-by-moment interaction the required features of the pilot's work in the cockpit. Through the shaping of their talk, the pilots manage its indexical and situated properties in effective and skilled ways. It shows that although the tasks performed by pilots may be 'routine', the communications in and through which they are managed are artful accomplishments.

It also makes an important contribution to literature on work and language by addressing one of the most highly technological settings there is: the aircraft cockpit.Using data taken from audio and video recordings of pilots talking in aircraft cockpits on actual scheduled passenger flights, it draws on the analytical approaches of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis to analyse their task-related communications. It examines in detail the communication that pilots engage in with one another and with other parties, such as traffic controllers, as they perform the routine tasks involved in flying an aircraft. It is the first book providing micro-analytic study of the interaction between pilots in the cockpit of commercial aircraft, and uses video data from actual passenger flights. The book is a revised and shortened version of my PhD thesis (submitted April 2001).
