Question
what should be the good qualities of an aviator?

Answer
Hello and thanks for using all experts. The qualities of a good aviator are really no different  than those of other fields. Education,desire and the ability to adapt to different situations. For military pilots I might include a type A personality. But generally if you want to do something bad enough, nothing will stop you! good luck
