Amelia Earhart, e.g (5)

I believe the answer is:

pilot

(Other definitions for pilot that I've seen before include "Controller of aircraft" , "Guide, flyer" , "This person can be found in a plane or a boat" , "Experimental scheme; flyer" , "Steer, test (scheme)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal, the LA Times and the New York Times.
