Seeing as how comercial airline pilots are described as using vehicle
control rigs, I should hope that they don't require all cyberware to
be turned off.

I imagine that whatever the 2050 equivilent to the FCC is, would have
a strict guideline for cyberware not causing undue electrical
interference. (Today, for example, most electronic devices must be
certified that they won't interfere with TV and radio Broadcasts.) I'm
sure that any "Legal" cyberware has been certified as not to cause
interference with the Air Trafic Control tower broadcasts, or any of
the plane's instrumentation.

But since when do runners just stick to the legal stuff?
