Remain aloft (5)

I believe the answer is:

hover

(Other definitions for hover that I've seen before include "Be poised" , "Hang around (in air)" , "Float above in the air, perhaps a craft" , "Hang in the air or waver" , "Fly over same spot" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Independent.
