This is still a bit dodgy, because it depends on what kind of penalties the character can expect to see in their "profession". A typical civilian pilot can do fine with a level of 12 in most conditions, but a bush pilot who has to routinely operate in rough conditions and rough terrain might need a 14, and a military pilot could justify a 16 without too much difficulty.
