Hmmm... Computing jump coordinates is Routine, unless I misremember.
Adding 1 for navigation and 1 for intelligence (if average) means he
makes a mistake in one jump out of six. If his intelligence is a bit
higher he only makes a mistake once in twelve.

Of course a lot of mistakes are just minor ones, but even so you're
not getting me to fly with him.

Even with skill-3 you fail Routine tasks once in 36, which is a lot
more than I'd expect for something that is routine, but...
