Aviatrix

/ˌeɪviəˈtrɪks/ noun

A female aviator or woman pilot of an aircraft (from Latin feminine form).

From Latin 'avis' (bird) + '-atrix' (feminine agent suffix), paralleling how Latin formed female versions of agent nouns. This became the most standardized English term for female pilots by the mid-20th century.
