The process by which the migration of an axon growth cone is directed to a specific target site in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The directed, self-propelled movement of a cellular component without the involvement of an external agent such as a transporter or a pore. Generation of a long process of a neuron, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells. The process by which the migration of an axon growth cone is directed to a specific target site along the anterior-posterior body axis in response to a combination of attractive and repulsive cues. The anterior-posterior axis is defined by a line that runs from the head or mouth of an organism to the tail or opposite end of the organism.
