Some larger aircraft have both a pilot and a co-pilot so one can rest while the other works or both can work at busy times such as take-off and landing. [[Drone]] pilots usually stay on the ground and operate the machine by [[radio control]]. Sometimes one pilot handles several drones at the same time. Maritime or ship pilots usually only guide the ship through an especially difficult place such as a [[harbor]] which they have carefully studied. They are usually aboard only during this passage. ==References== <references /> == Other websites == *''[https://goldenepaulet
