Trial for an aviator (5,6)
I believe the answer is:
pilot scheme
'trial for an aviator' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'trial for an aviator' is the wordplay.
'trial' becomes 'scheme' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'an aviator' becomes 'pilot' (pilot is a kind of aviator).
'scheme' after 'pilot' is 'PILOT SCHEME'.
