Navigation of an aircraft; the act of flying and directing an airplane through the air.
A blend or back-formation from 'aviation' + 'navigation,' or possibly from French 'avigation,' used informally to parallel the structure of 'navigation' with an 'avi-' prefix.
Though 'avigation' appears in some dictionaries, most pilots and formal aviation contexts just say 'navigation' or 'flight operations'—it's a word that sounds official but isn't truly standard.
