Maybe the rest of the deck crew. Lots if hand signals are used there and that doesn't change even if the pilot isn't in the plane.

One thing I didn't notice was whether the X-47 is remotely piloted or autonomous. Was "Maverick" sitting in the carrier with a dozen video screens or did the plane truly land on its own?

I’m gonna suggest a remote operator vs autonomous pilot named “chip” ..

.. Not yet ready for that I suppose.....:o)

Good question ....
