"The pilot managed to free themselves and was uninjured"
Which is more than can be said of the English language in this journo's desperate attempt to be gender neutral!
Anyway, Id have said the pilot undid the straps and got out - no freeing needed

What should the writer write if he/she was unsure of the gender of the pilot?

The journalist should have journalised, and found out.
After all, they'd managed to determine that the pilot was uninjured so presumably weren't just guessing.

The pilot was uninjured and able to exit the aircraft?

Why able to exit? Makes it sound as if it was an effort.

The pilot got out and was offered a cup of tea and a cigarette by a small boy
