Levitate (5)
I believe the answer is:
hover
'levitate' is the definition.
(I know that levitate can be written as hover)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for hover that I've seen before include "What some cross-Channel craft do" , "Low flying machine (10)" , "Wait around (like a kestrel)" , "Fly over same spot" , "Remain in one place in the air" .)
