To fly a plane in English, you would say "to pilot a plane" or "to operate a plane." These phrases come from the verb "to pilot," which means to control or guide a vehicle, and the verb "to operate," which means to control the functioning of something. Here are some examples of these phrases in action:

"I've always dreamed of piloting a plane" (我一直梦想着开飞机)

"The pilot operated the plane skillfully during the storm" (风暴期间，飞行员熟练地操作飞机)

It's important to note that in English, "to fly a plane" can also refer to the act of being a passenger on a plane, rather than operating it. For example, you might say "I flew to New York on a plane" to mean that you were a passenger on a plane that flew to New York. In this case, "to fly" means to travel through the air, rather than to operate a plane.
