:''For a list of [[Colonial Warrior]]s, the [[Viper (TOS)|original Viper]] pilots seen in the [[Original Series]], see [[List of Warriors]].''

:''This list was created to keep track of ''[[Galactica (RDM)|Galactica]]'s'' current and former [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] pilots, [[Raptor]] pilots and [[ECO]]s, and includes members of the crew of ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' as well. When mentioned-only characters are linked to a separate article, they are either repeatedly mentioned, have some significance despite not being seen or the article includes a note about their name.''

'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.

Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]]. Once nuggets complete their basic flight and combat training, they are known as "[[rook]]s".

A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.

Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.

A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.

'''Pilots''' are officers in the [[Colonial Fleet (RDM)|Colonial Fleet]] trained and qualified to operate a [[Viper (RDM)|Viper]] fighter or a [[Raptor]] multipurpose vehicle.

Pilot candidates, or "nuggets", normally start training in [[Computers in the Re-imagined Series#Viper Flight Simulators|simulators]], but after the [[Fall of the Twelve Colonies]], ''Galactica'''s nuggets went from classroom straight into live aircraft until ''[[Pegasus (RDM)|Pegasus]]'' (with its on-board flight simulators) joined the [[The Fleet (RDM)|Fleet]].

A flight-qualified pilot wears basic [[Insignia_(RDM)#Pilot_wings|pilot wings]] on the uniform's left breast. Senior-rated pilots (e.g. [[William Adama]], [[Saul Tigh]]) wear a variation with outstretched wings.

Pilot wings are a permanently-awarded skills badge; they do not necessarily indicate active flight status, only that the wearer has successfully qualified as a pilot. Officers who have moved into non-flying positions, such as [[Aaron Kelly]] and [[Felix Gaeta]], continue to wear them.

A [[flight suit]], which protects a pilot during a decompression emergency, is standard apparel for all pilots.
