A 'PILOT-Like Telescope' is likely to have differences in science goals to the original PILOT. Furthermore, our understanding of the environmental conditions at Dome C has changed significantly since the start of the PILOT design study in June 2007. Therefore, it is timely to re-examine some of the basic design decisions. We present here one alternative concept: a silicon-carbide, GLAO-assisted, three-mirror anastigmat, and possibly equatorial, PILOT-Like-Telescope.
