I think that i could possibly make an argument here that an 'aviatrix' plays a very different socio-cultural (but not technological) role to an 'aviator'. Maybe i would then go on to make arguments that 'aviatrix' and 'aviator' should be assigned according to which role people (pilots, presumably) played, rather than according to their gender.
Essentially, though, i would just be making a rather long and involved justification of the fact that i think 'aviatrix' sounds excellent.
