  Landing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Landing is the last part of a flight, where a flying animal or aircraft returns to the ground.
Aircraft usually land at an airport on a runway or helicopter landing pad.
To land on an aircraft carrier, an aircraft (moving at, perhaps, 150 mph (240 km/h)) is equipped with tailhooks to engage one of up to four arresting cables stretched across the deck, stopping the aircraft within 320 feet (100 m) after engaging one of the cables.

In a crab landing, the plane flies along the center of the runway during approach.
Because of these huge risks, most pilots advocate using crab landing for the majority of the descent, and then changing to the slip technique when at a low altitude over the runway and using that for the rest of the descent.
