[10] She shared with Echo and Kite in the proceeds of the capture on 24 December of the Dutch vessel Vryhied.

[12] Pilote shared with a number of other vessels in the proceeds of the taking of the Union American, and the retaking of the brig Industry.

[a] Pilote was under the command of Lieutenant Charles Seymour Lynn on 5 December 1782 when she captured the Dutch ship Fortunée.

[17] Between June and July 1794 Pilote was yet again at Plymouth undergoing work, this time for conversion to a brig.

[1] Pilote was under the command of Lieutenant Jackson Dowsing when she captured the French vessel Maria Theresa.

Pilote had seen a convoy safely to St Helens when she encountered and captured Justine Adélaïde ten leagues SSE from Beachy Head.

[23] On 28 June Pilote was in company with the 50-gun fourth rate Romney, Wolverine, and Plover, also later Daphne, and possibly the 24-gun post ship Champion, when they fell in with a Swedish convoy of 21 merchant vessels and their escort, a 44-gun frigate.

Because Sweden and Britain were not at war, Captain Lawford of Romney shadowed the convoy while sending a lieutenant back to the Admiralty for instructions.

[25][26] The "Principal Officers and Commissioners of His Majesty's Navy" offered "His Majesty's Brig Pilote, of the Burthen of 218 Tons, Coppered and Copper-fastened, with Masts, Yards, Furniture, and Stores, as per Inventory" at Sheerness on 29 April 1799.
