'irreverently' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'expert to fly plane in' is the wordplay.
'expert' becomes 'pro' (short for professional).
'to' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'plane' becomes 'ane' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'fly' enclosing 'ane' is 'fanely'.
'pro'+'fanely'='PROFANELY'

'no place' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
