Remote cameras and prototype drones

Three Q-owned prototype drones stand on the proving-ground hardstanding north of Mill Road: reconnaissance, gun drone and bomber. Their controllers are inside them. Ordinary construction of their proposed generics is still awaiting approval.
The owner takes a controller and pairs it nearby: pair <aircraft> with <controller>. Then use pilot start with <controller>, pilot fly up 1 with <controller>, pilot approach <thing> with <controller>, pilot go <exit> with <controller>, or pilot land with <controller>.
View <controller> shows its camera. Watch <controller> follows visual changes; unwatch <controller> ends the feed. Telemetry <controller> shows position, charge and equipment. Pilot actions with <controller> lists the controls offered by the installed payload.
The battery, ammunition and bomb stores are finite. Pilot stop keeps powered hover; pilot shutdown removes support and lets an airborne drone fall. The controller must stay held by the aircraft's owner.
