It's not an action. Free actions are actions taken outside of the "perform action step," but they still follow several of the same rules (i.e. you cannot perform a free action while stressed). With the pilot trait shown, you could be stressed and still acquire a target lock, however, it would not trigger abilities like Push the Limit or Experimental Interface, because you aren't performing an action. Hopefully that helps.
