A Pilot is a person, typically of a military service, that can operate and manuever a groundborne, airborne, or spaceborne vehicle.
Covenant
A surprisingly large number of Covenant species possess the intelligence necessary to pilot craft. Groups of Brutes or Elites can operate a spaceborne Covenant capital ship, such as the CCS-class Battlecruiser or the Reverence-class 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.
Three of four Elites or Brutes can pilot large ground vehicles such as Scarab walkers, although a crew of just one Elite or Brute can pilot a singleship Banshee attack fighter, a Wraith tank, or a Ghost assault vehicle. Grunts are also known to be able to pilot Ghosts, ableit clumsily.
United Nations Space Command
There are two main types of pilots in the UNSC Defense Force: those of the UNSC Navy and the Marine aviators of the UNSC Marine Corps. Large crews of Navy crewmen operate and maintain UNSC starships such as Halycon-class Cruisers. Longsword-class Interceptors can be operated by just one Navy pilot, as can Bumblebee lifepods.
While UNSC Navy personnel oftentimes pilot spaceborne craft, both UNSC Marine Corps aviators and Navy pilots are seen operating airbone craft, such as the Pelican Dropship. In Halo: Combat Evolved, it is seen that the Pelicans of the UNSC Pillar of Autumn are exclusively operated by two pilots from 23rd Naval Air Squadron, while in Halo 2, the Pelicans of the UNSC In Amber Clad are operated by Marine pilots.
