Get into trouble -- look inside for crew member (2-5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

Which length description are you looking for?:

7

2-5

copilot

'for crew member' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'get into trouble look inside' is the wordplay.
'get into trouble' becomes 'cop it' (to cop it is to receive punishment).
'look' becomes 'lo' (archaic exclamation meaning 'look!').
'inside' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'copit' enclosing 'lo' is 'COPILOT'.

(Other definitions for copilot that I've seen before include "Airliner crew member" , "Second-in-command of aeroplane" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
