Familiarity with avionics systems, flight management systems (FMS), and GPS navigation, along with completion of required flight hours and, in some cases, instrument rating are typically required. Strong situational awareness, decision-making under pressure, and effective communication skills help distinguish successful pilots in this role. These competencies ensure safe aircraft operation, compliance with regulations, and the ability to handle complex scenarios in multi-engine environments.
