A female airplane pilot is simply a pilot. She could be a Captain.
Technically a pilot is anyone who has flown an airplane. In the USA, there are several different levels of pilot certificates. They go:Student Pilot Certificate (can fly solo with a flight instructor signoff)Private Pilot Certificate (can fly with passengers, not for hire)Commercial Pilot Certificate (can fly for hire)Airline Transport Pilot Certificate (can fly as a captain for charter and airline operations)So a "pilot" is not necessarily better or worse than a private pilot.
I will tickle you!
The pilot episode of Star Trek: TOS was simply called "The Cage" which had Captain Pike in command rather then Captain Kirk.
The person that flies the airplane is called a pilot. Large aircraft requires two pilots, then the pilot in command is called the Captain, and the other pilot is called the First Officer.
He played Captain Christopher Pike in the pilot for Star Trek called "The Cage".
During flight, the PIC (Pilot in Command) also referred to as Captain, has the final authority over the aircraft including all passengers and crew. However, on the ground, the Captain answers to the Chief Pilot, if the company has one. All Commercial and charter companies are required to have a chief pilot. Some private companies also have a chief pilot, though not required.
Well the person who fly's the Concord is called a Pilot! The first pilot to fly the concord was Andre Turcat
The Captain. Or the pilot. Captains does not "drive" ships, only in movies. The officer on duty on the bridge is in command and navigating the vessel but the actual steering is normally done by an auto pilot. If in confined waters a crew member called a quartermaster is doing the manual steering. A pilot is a person joining the vessel and helping the captain planning and navigating in coastal areas and confined waters. A pilot never touch the controls, he only advices but the captain is the ultimate authority and can decide to follow the advice of the pilot or not as he chooses. Usually the pilot is a former captain with a special knowledge of a port of coastline.
