[The Matrix] When a program for something like martial-arts or piloting a helicopter is uploaded into your brain, it's in your brain... right? So technically can you still utilize those skills outside of the matrix?

Yes and no. You can't use the program, that's a part of your avatar inside the matrix. However, if you got the chance to actually pilot a helicopter, you would remember doing so, and while your muscle memory might not be up to scratch, you'd at least know what switches to switch, what the helicopter should feel and sound like, which are all things that people usually need practice to learn. You might also have some instinctual responses if you got enough practice. It's different from a simulator because your body doesn't know what to do, but your mind does.
