Is Piloting (Aerospace) only good for atmospheric flight?

[Captain Joy]

According to B214, Piloting (Aerospace) allows you to pilot:

Any vehicle capable of atmospheric flight to and from orbit.

It has the usual default of Piloting (any other)-4, and a more generous default: Piloting (High-Performance Airplane)-2. I emphasize "Airplane" to call attention to the fact that this skill (specifically?) deals with flight through atmosphere.

I had been ruling in my Star Trek game that the skill to fly a shuttlecraft while in atmosphere was Piloting (Aerospace), but if you were flying it in open space, the skill was Piloting (High-Performance Spacecraft).

Am I doing it right?

I'm thinking of changing it to Piloting (Aerospace) for when you're flying the shuttle near enough to a planet for it's gravitation field to effect flight, and Piloting (High-Performance Spacecraft) for when you're not near a planet.

Or, I'm thinking that a shuttlecraft is closer to an aerospace vehicle than anything else, so that skill covers it completely. Similarly, landing an Intrepid Class starship (which is clearly a high-performance spacecraft) on the surface of a planet would use Piloting (High-Performance Spacecraft), not Piloting (Aerospace).

I'm interested what this always informative forum community has to say.

EDIT: The discussions in this thread lead a Piloting House rule that I use in my Star Trek campaign. You can see it at post #14.
