'''Piloting Solo'''<ref name="pacificrim">''[[Pacific Rim]]''</ref><ref name="solopilot"/> is an occurrence where a [[Ranger]] attempts to pilot a [[Jaeger]] on his or her own. The act itself is dangerous; Rangers run a high risk of dying in the process of piloting a Jaeger without a co-pilot.<ref name="yearzero"/>

During the earliest stages of Dr. [[Caitlin Lightcap]]'s [[Drift#Pons|Pons System]], test pilots for the first Jaeger, [[Brawler Yukon]], were unable to withstand the level of information delivered to their brains by the headset neurally.<ref name="solopilot">[http://travisbeacham.tumblr.com/post/59050497588/what-kind-of-neurological-damage-would-piloting-a Travis Beacham: Piloting Solo]</ref>

Though Dr. Lightcap would discover a means of sharing the burden of the neural load when she connected her mind to [[Sergio D'onofrio]] through the [[Drift]]<ref name="yearzero">''[[Pacific Rim: Tales From Year Zero]]''</ref>, there are instances during combat against a [[Kaiju]] when Rangers find themselves without a partner to assist them. The act itself is referred to as "Solo piloting" or "Piloting solo".<ref name="pacificrim"/> Solo piloting can cause damage to the brain of a pilot and trigger seizures (the latter of which can kill them), however, the damage is not necessarily lasting. Tell-tale signs of a solo piloting include, but aren't limited to, blood in the eyes and bleeding from the nose.<ref name="solopilot"/><ref name="pacificrim"/>

Solo piloting is not a unique ability or a descriptor of a Ranger's mental strength. How long a Ranger can last piloting on their own is determinant on how long they can withstand the neural load on their own. The longer a pilot fights on their own in a Jaeger, the more difficult it can become.<ref name="solopilot"/> Raleigh Becket and former Ranger, Stacker Pentecost, were able to pilot their respective Jaegers, Gipsy Danger and [[Coyote Tango]], long enough on their own to kill Knifehead and [[Onibaba]] before hitting the limit their brains could withstand.<ref name="solopilot"/><ref name="pacificrim"/> Raleigh was later able to briefly solo pilot Gypsy Danger once more during the assault on the Breach when [[Mako Mori]]'s oxygen feed was damaged and she had to eject.
