| PILOT | AUTOMATIC SKILL |
| Obligatory |
- By performing any Skill with the Movement Label, Pilots may Mount or Dismount their own Vehicle or TAG, and only their own Vehicle or TAG (see the General Movement Rules).
- If the Vehicle or TAG is in Unconscious State, the Pilot can still Dismount and use their Profile.
- A Vehicle or TAG whose Pilot is Dismounted cannot spend Orders or AROs using their Vehicle or TAG Unit Profile
- The Vehicle or TAG whose Pilot is Dismounted is still considered a valid target for the opponent.
- Pilots of a Vehicle or TAG in Unconscious State are not considered to be survivors or casualties for Victory Points, Retreat! or any other purposes. Only the TAG or Vehicle counts.
- If the Pilot is Dismounted and enters Dead State, the Vehicle or TAG is considered a casualty and must be removed from the gaming table along with the Pilot's Model.
- Pilots of a Vehicle or TAG in Unconscious State do not contribute Orders of any kind.
- When Dismounting from a TAG or Vehicle, any Game States that the TAG or Vehicle was in will also be applied to the Pilot (if applicable), with the exception of Unconscious. (See FAQs & Errata. There are exceptions for Possessed State.)
- When Mounting a TAG or Vehicle, the TAG or Vehicle Profile will apply all Game States that the TAG was in and all Game States the Pilot was in (if applicable).
- If the Pilot is a Trooper vulnerable to hacking or suffering the effect of E/M Ammunition, no Hacking Program may be used against them and the E/M effect will not be applied to them as long as their Model is not on the gaming table.
- Pilot (Remote):
- As an exception to this rule, if the Remote Pilot is on the gaming table in an Isolated, Immobilized (IMM-A or IMM-B) or Null State, their player may spend an Order or ARO to declare Reset with the Vehicle or TAG to regain control of it. If this Reset is a Normal Roll with no MODs applied, it will be an automatic success and, after declaring this, the Remote Pilot is removed from the gaming table.
FAQs & Errata
Q: How does the Possessed State interact with Pilots, Dismounting, and Escape Systems?
A: When a TAG is in Possessed State, its Pilot cannot Mount or Dismount. If a TAG's Escape System takes effect while the TAG is in Possessed State, the operator profile will not be in Possessed State.

Q: Can a Pilot use the Tactical Awareness or Lieutenant Order generated by the TAG profile?
A: No. The Pilot does not have the Tactical Awareness or Lieutenant Special Skill, so cannot be activated with the Order.

Q: If a TAG is in a Fireteam and the TAG's Pilot or Pilot (Remote) Dismounts, will the Pilot be a member of the Fireteam?
A: Yes. The Pilot will take the TAG's place as a member of the Fireteam, and vice-versa if the Pilot Mounts the TAG again.

Q: If a Pilot (Remote) is in a Fireteam and the TAG regains control with a successful Reset (removing the Pilot from the gaming table), does the TAG take the Pilot's place in the Fireteam?
A: No.
