<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">female pilot</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for aviatrix that I've seen before include "Pioneer travelling" , "A female pilot in early days of flying" , "eg Amy Johnson" , "Female flier" , "She flies" .)
