Episode Title | Running a Pilot Program |
Phrase | pilot |
Text | The word "pilot," in this podcast, means a trial run, or something that is done as a test or trial to determine whether it can succeed on a larger scale (with more people or resources): "The state government is investing $85,000 in a one-year pilot program to test the new curriculum in one school before using it in all the other schools." A "pilot" is also someone who flies an airplane: "Do pilots have to have perfect vision, or can they wear glasses?" Finally, a "pilot light" is a small gas flame that is kept burning all the time and serves as a way to light a larger fire, like on a gas stove or a gas water heater: "I can't get the gas fireplace to work. Do you think the pilot light burnt out?" |
