I was asking me the same question

What are the meaning of the pilots abilities

My guess:

Air (Air to Air)
NavB (Naval Bombing)
NavT (Naval Torpedo)
NavS (Naval Search)
Recn (Recon)
ASW = ASW
Tran (Transport)
GrdB (Ground Bombing)
LowN ????
LowG ????
Staf ( Straffing ??)
Defn (Defensiveness ???

Do not forget that you can set a type of mission to train on by using TRAINING and a secondary mission.
Below are the skills affect by a mission:
NAVAL_SEARCH = Naval Search (NavS)
RECON = Recon (Recn);
AIRFIELD_ATTACK, GROUND_ATTACK, PORT_ATTACK, CITY_ATTACK = Ground bombing (GrdB);
ESCORT, SWEEP = Air attack (Air)
ASW = ASW
SUPPLY_TRANSPORT, TROOP_TRANSPORT = Transport (Tran)
KAMIKAZE, NAVAL_ATTACK = Naval bombing (NavB)

In addition, the skill can be modified to;
1. if group is on Naval Attack and a/c has torpedo, then skill is Naval Torpedo (NavT)
2. else if group is set to 100' altitude and skill is NavB, then skill is Naval low-level bombing (LowN)
3. else if group is set to 100' altitude and skill is GrdB, then skill is Ground low-level bombing (LowB)
4. else if group is set to 100' altitude, then skill is Strafe (Staf)

The skill Defn is Defensive Air skill and usually is a random/default selection.
