When a pilot takes off? (7)

I believe the answer is:

airtime

(Other definitions for airtime that I've seen before include "Broadcasting period" , "Minutes allocated to a broadcaster" , "Duration of broadcast" , "exposure on waves?" , "Period of broadcast transmission" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
