Hello,
You're right that the pilot and co-pilot sit in and control the plane from that area but they don't do it standing up. I think in this question, the meaning is they that they sit and control the cockpit 'area' of the plane. They are the only ones who can control this area, thankfully, so there is no need to explain that they control the entire plane in or from this area. If they control the area, and noone else does, then it's not necessary to state that.
I hope this helps.

Sorry, that's a typo. In the second line, it should read 'the meaning is that they sit and control ....."
