A "Princess Pilot" is a term used in aviation slang to describe a pilot who prefers to fly only in ideal weather conditions (VFR, clear skies) and typically operates high-performance, modern, and well-equipped aircraft—often featuring glass cockpits, autopilot, and cruise speeds above 140 knots. This pilot tends to avoid challenging conditions such as turbulence, IMC, or older, less luxurious aircraft. The term can imply a degree of selectiveness, inexperience, or aversion to adversity, and is sometimes used with a humorous or lightly critical tone within pilot communities.
