The one thing that stood out to me as I made a couple of sample characters was that very few people are going to have any skill at all in using an air raft because the flyer skill is very rarely given. I know it says that they are very easy to fly but since they are so ubiquitous in the Impirium, I would think that the skill should be pretty easy to get at least at zero level.
why is the flyer skill so rare?

I think this is one instance where Traveller: the New Error got things right, if it relied on an anti-grav field to stay aloft then it was covered by the Inferface/Grav skill, which came under both Pilot and Vehicle.
If I decide to use MongTrav then I'll definately ditch the Flyer (Grav) skill and have its use covered Pilot (Small Craft), and allow characters from suitably tech levelled planets to gain the skill in lieu of Drive & Flyer at the players choice.

I have also houseruled Flyer as an Education based skill you can get for Pre-Career skills.
