If I understand correctly, wouldn't it work simply to look at the
request method for the "domain.com/pilot/create" page and only return a
response in case the method is POST very similar to any other form
handling like this example:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/#using-a-form-in-a-view

but leaving out the else branch and the default return (which would then
make Django return an HTTP 405 error)?

I don't know anything about React, but from a quick look at the
documentation it like it's just normal HTTP forms using POST.

Kind regards,
