− A pilot may only be categorised as a notable pilot for one type of [['Mech]], [[aerospace fighter]], or other combat vehicle.
A pilot or individual vehicle is notable if either expressly mentioned as such in a source (typically, a Technical Readout), or otherwise if the pilot is both a somewhat prominent character in BattleTech fiction and also strongly associated with the vehicle in question, and vice versa. For example, [[Kai Allard-Liao]] could be considered a notable ''[[Centurion (BattleMech)|Centurion]]'' pilot because he was himself famous and also piloted the famous ''[[Yen-Lo-Wang]]'' which is a notable 'Mech in its own right; but he is not a notable ''[[Hatchetman]]'' pilot even though he happened to pilot a ''Hatchetman'' in what was probably his most famous single action.
