landing (plural landings)

1. An arrival at a surface, as of an airplane or any descending object.

   Antonym: takeoff

2. (military) An amphibious or airborne invasion.
   • 1944 June 7, Winston Churchill, speech to House of Commons:

     The House should, I think, take formal cognisance of the liberation of Rome […] . This is a memorable and glorious event, which rewards the intense fighting of the last five months in Italy. The original landing, made on January 22nd at Anzio, has, in the end, borne good fruit.

3. A place on a shoreline where a boat lands.

   Hyponym: fleet landing

4. A level area at the top of a flight of stairs, or connecting one flight with another.

   Hyponym: half-landing

   • 1967, Barbara Sleigh, Jessamy, Sevenoaks, Kent: Bloomsbury, published 1993, →ISBN, page 84:

     She crept up the stairs [...] On she went, across the landing, from which sprang the tall window, and up the next flight until she reached the top.

5. (in the plural) The amount of fish caught, as in a specific area or on a particular expedition.
   • 1997, Mark Kurlansky, Cod, page 132:

     The huge quantity of landings was periodically causing fish prices to crash, creating unprecedented havoc in the marketplace.

When referring to an arrival at a surface by an aircraft or other normally-controllable object, landing is generally reserved for cases in which the object is actually under (at least partial) control; an uncontrolled arrival at the surface by such an object is usually referred to as a crash or impact. In contrast, for uncontrollable objects (such as a meteoroid or artillery shell), landing is generally used (although impact is also usable).
