The pilot of the doomed twin- engine Aero Commander 680 was Ed Zimney. He had warned his 4 passengers that there were dangerous thunderstorms along their flight path and it was to be a rough flight. When the plane began to pitch and roll Zimney wanted to safely land the plane, wait out the storms and continue their journey when it was safe. Kennedy unfastened his seat belt, got up snapped at Zimney "damn it Ed we're late already." Moments later the plane plowed into an orchard instantly killing the pilot and legislative aid Ed Moss. Kennedy and Birch Bayh and Marvella Bayh survived.

John Kennedy jr. had a University degree, so his IQ must have been in the region of about 120. How he used that intelligence is another matter. He mostly lived the life of a socialite and was a not very succesful magazine editor. The plane crash that killed him also isn't proof of his intelligent judgement: he took off as the pilot of the plane in conditions he was not really qualified for and refused the offer of an experienced pilot to come along on the flight.
Rashid Minhas was a pilot officer in the Pakistan Air Force. He died in 1971 in a jet trainer crash while he was struggling to regain the controls of the plane from defecting pilot and flight instructor Matiur Rahman.

Technically a pilot is anyone who has flown an airplane. In the USA, there are several different levels of pilot certificates. They go:Student Pilot Certificate (can fly solo with a flight instructor signoff)Private Pilot Certificate (can fly with passengers, not for hire)Commercial Pilot Certificate (can fly for hire)Airline Transport Pilot Certificate (can fly as a captain for charter and airline operations)So a "pilot" is not necessarily better or worse than a private pilot.
