student pilots

Cockpit novices training

Student pilots are people learning to fly aircraft, training under certified flight instructors toward their pilot's license.

The term has specific regulatory meaning in aviation—a student pilot certificate is the first credential allowing someone to operate an aircraft, initially only with an instructor aboard: The student pilots practiced touch-and-go landings all morning.
