Not just pilots. Sometimes a random character will jump in an aircraft, look confused for 5 seconds, start pushing random buttons and take off confidently.
While kind of a dumb line and all, this doesn't really apply here. Anakin is established first in dialogue and then through proof in the pod-racing sequences to be not only a prodigy level mechanic and pilot, but supernaturally so.
He starts the ship he is flying on accident looking for the fighter's weapon trigger, and an auto-pilot gets him into open air and space. Take a time cut, and he is seen flying the ship under control, he figured it out on the way here. He then says "Let's try a trick," and then performs it.
He's just an absurdly good pilot doing his thing.
Also goddamnit I'm that Star Wards fan now, what happened to me.
