   Maltz thought that the best word for "operate (an aircraft)" was
   {'or} - so the person who does this would be the {'orwI'}, "one who
   operates (an aircraft)" [...] He was comfortable translating ...
   {'orwI'} as "pilot" (the noun).   (HQ 11.2:8)

Used in canon:

   Duj ronmoH 'orwI'
   the pilot banks the vessel (HQ 11.2:8)

Related nouns:

{chIjwI'} navigator; {DeghwI'} helmsman
