Stone Pilot
A Stone Pilot is a fictional occupation aboard a Sky Ship from Paul Stewart's children's fantasy novel series The Edge Chronicles.
Duties
A Stone Pilot's job is to control the temperature of a Sky ship's buoyant flight rock, which itself determines the altitude of the sky ship. The Stone Pilot stands above the flight rock on a platform where he or she heats and cools the rock using various instruments. Due to the heat generated by the flames used to heat the flight rock, a protective uniform (such as heatproof overalls with a hood and gauntlets) is worn by the Stone Pilot.
Notable Stone Pilots
