A surprisingly large number of [[Covenant]] species possess the intelligence necessary to pilot craft. Groups of [[Brutes]] or [[Elites]] can operate a spaceborne Covenant ship, such as the {{Class|CCS|Battlecruiser}} or the {{Class|Reverence|Cruiser}}, by operation of holographic consoles at the control bridge of the warship. [[Engineers]] also help in the technical maintenance of warship systems, although it is unknown if they can pilot and operate the actual warship itself. A single [[Brute]] or [[Elite]] can also pilot a [[Phantom]] dropship.

Elites and Brutes can pilot a single person [[Banshee]] attack fighter. [[Grunts]] are also known to be able to pilot [[Banshees]], albeit clumsily. It is unknown how they fit inside the Banshee's cockpit with a methane tank on as it is never seen in-game, it is mentioned only once, in ''[[Halo: The Flood]]''. It may be possible that the [[Banshees]] that [[Grunts]] operate are customized to fit their particular anatomy, but there is no evidence to sugest this.
