A definition seems to be missing: the use of 'pilot' in the sense of a trial of a completed (first version of a) product. For example: "We will be releasing this new software in June, following a pilot with selected users in May." I see this use frequently, both as a noun in the previous example and as an adjective, as in: "The pilot project was a success, we can go ahead with the release."
