Might be that the terms are rather more generic than the usage we now have for them?
You get river pilots for example, pilot lights- both leading the way, one directing, the other initiating.
Cockpit as in where a pilot works, or where direction is given maybe?
Drivers are referred to as Pilots in Italian (or at least racing drivers are).
