This is by actor. Not character.
My candidates:
Harrison Ford.
Han Solo- Made the Kessler Run in 12 parsecs
Air Force One- Just because
Last Crusade- Flew the prop plane.
Although he had a crash in 6 days 7 nights. Track record isn't flawless.
Tom Hanks.
Sully- No explanation needed
Apollo 13- Fixed that ship in space and brought everyone back alive.
Honorable Mentions.
Denzel for flying the plane drunk and saving all those people in Flight
Bill Pullman/Randy Quaid/Will Smith for their heroics in Independence Day.
Who you got?

Billy D as Lando, simply by piloting that flying cheese wheel into the inner workings of the Death Star, blowing it up, and making it out in one piece.
