Pass over channel in aircraft (3-5)

I believe the answer is:

ski-plane

'aircraft' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pass over channel' is the wordplay.
'pass over' becomes 'skip' (skip can mean to pass over or ignore).
'channel' becomes 'lane' (I've seen this in another clue).
'skip'+'lane'='SKI-PLANE'

'in' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
