Sov le' vIghajbe', 'ach 'orwI' jIH.  wot {'or} vIchup.  'ortaHvIS Qu' law'
ta' 'orwI'.  Qum, chIj, nIn bej, muD Dotlh ja', etc.

I don't claim to have any special knowledge, but I am a pilot.  I'd
recommend {'or}, as it's specifically defined as "pilot, operate (an
aircraft)."  A pilot does many things, such as maintain communications,
navigate, monitor fuel levels, report the weather (for the benefit of other
pilots), and much more.  The pilot is ultimately reponsible for the safety
of all passengers, and must have a thorough understanding of all sysetms in
case of system failures or emergencies.  I wouldn't call all of these things
{'or}, but in terms of flying the airplane, {'or} is what the pilot does.
