I'm crossing my fingers, hoping this is Fair Use.
As the Pilot skill doesn't list a specific Characteristic to add to the skill, here are ideas that I think would work well for Pilot. Plus, some known Pilot skill checks. Don't forget that you can use the Automatic Success rule, if your Skill and Characteristic is high enough. Or the Difficulty is low enough.
DEX
Most flight controlled maneuvers
Maneuvering around an obstacle
Chasing another ship
Flying through high winds, turbulence, and other extreme weather
EDU or INT
Knowing a specific maneuver or protocol
Executing a course
Starship Tactics
Known Specific Pilot Checks
Atmospheric Reentry
Easy (4+) Pilot (1D x 10 minutes, DEX)
Starport Landing (and Taking off)
Routine (6+) Pilot check (1D x 10 seconds, DEX)
Most pilots will take 1D minutes to perform a landing and gain DM+2 on the task.
Failing a Pilot check while attempting a Landing means the ship has landed improperly or even crashed.
Wilderness Landing (and Taking off)
Average (8+) to Difficult (10+) or even Very Difficult (12+) Pilot DEX check.
Deliberate Tumble
Routine (6+) Pilot check (1D x 10 seconds, DEX).
Docking with another vessel
Routine (6+) Pilot check (1D minutes, DEX).
Scooping hydrogen from a gas giant
Difficult (10+) Pilot check (1D hours, DEX).
Racing another ship
Opposed Pilot checks (1D x 10 minutes, DEX).
