Ik moet wat zeggen van Vic
Het begrip lijkt verrassend genoeg uit de scheepvaartwereld te komen:
http://hyperdictionary.com/search.aspx?define=pilot

Het is inderdaad stuurlucht, in dubbele betekenis
1) het stuurt, regelt de klep
2) belangrijker: het is binnen de procedure een zodanig vroeg signaal dat het de hele procedure stuurt.
