9. Pilots

The Pilots module enables Drone Service Providers (DSPs) to manage all drone pilots registered under their account.
This module is used to add pilots, view and update pilot details, assign operational locations and drones, monitor pilot activity on maps, and maintain pilot records.

Pilot data is directly used during order assignment, planner scheduling, and operational tracking.
Only pilots added in this module can be assigned to orders.
