One character wants to be a test pilot. Doing stuff like trying to push a new shuttle to it's limits without being killed. Much like what Sulu did during the Lost Years.
What kind of skills should he get?

If you have the DWS, some of the combat pilot templates and packages might help, but just in case:
Vehicle Operation (Shuttlecraft) - but you knew that
Propulsion Engineering (Any but Impulse Engines or Shuttle Thrusters make most sense)
Theoretical Engineering (Shuttle design) - it's a possibility, I'm sure many test pilots get to make recommendations on design tweaks to the engineers.
Knowledge (Flight Maneuvers) - might be covered by Starship Tactics, but I'm thinking more knowing what you can put a ship through to test performance.
Those are the immediate ones that come to mind, but how about:
Ace Rimmer Template: +3 Presence, Sexy +2 advantage, Knowledge (Complete Guru on Practically Anything) 5, High Pain Threshold +2 and Catchphrase ("Smoke me a kipper - I'll be back for breakfast!") and Big Hair +6
"That might have been the biggest mistake of my life..."

You could have him take specific maneuvers under shipboard system(Flight Control). I think this idea appears in Spacedock, although I'm not sure. Also, Material Enginerring (Ship Design) should cover shuttlecrafts without creating more specializations.
