Caught in the air? (4)

I believe the answer is:

oral

(Other definitions for oral that I've seen before include "Using speech rather than writing" , "Type of examination" , "By word of mouth, like some exams" , "By word of mouth, say exam" , "By word of mouth (4)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday.
