Rita’s affected by turbulence in part of flight (5)

I believe the answer is:

stair

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'part of flight' is the definition.
(as in a flight of stairs)

'rita's affected' is the wordplay.
'affected' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ritas' anagrammed gives 'STAIR'.

'by turbulence in' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stair that I've seen before include "one's seen in flight" , "Flight unit" , "something of a case" , "A step on the way up or down" , "Bit of a flight!" .)
