Aircraft usually land at an airport on a firm runway or helicopter landing pad, generally constructed of asphalt concrete, concrete, gravel or grass, but specially equipped aircraft are able to land on water, snow or ice.
Large transport category (airliner) aircraft land the aircraft by "flying the airplane on to the runway." The airspeed and attitude of the plane are adjusted for landing.
To land on an aircraft carrier, a conventional aircraft (moving at, perhaps, 150 mph 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.

The attitude is held until the primary wheels touch the ground and the controls are either held until all wheels touch the ground or gently adjusted (often in the case of tail-draggers) to ensure the nose-wheel or tail-wheel lightly touches the runway.

 Slip landing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A slip landing is a technique for landing an airplane in a crosswind.
Because slips are uncomfortable for passengers and can increase the risk of the plane entering a spin, slips are generally not used for the entire descent.
This slip is generally continued all the way until touchdown and the main wheels on the wing down side touch prior to the main wheels on the other side.

A very light touch of the runway surface with the landing gear and lack of compression of the left landing gear leg to the extent understood by the aircraft computer as the actual landing, resulted in delayed deployment of spoilers and thrust reversers.
5 Landing was continued in spite of excessive tailwind component, excessive ground speed and the touchdown point moved considerably ahead (towards the runway end), while abandonment of landing and go around was justified and still feasible.
Truly professional pilots wouldn't have landed at all, since their approach profile was outside of the required parameters to continue to landing.

 Landing
In a slip the glider is moving through the air sideways, in the direction of the low wing.
Airspeed control is important during a slip, but the airspeed indicator may not be reliable because the pitot/static sensors are not aligned with the flight path.
From the pilot's perspective the only difference between a side slip to correct for a crosswind and a forward slip to steepen the glide path is that the nose of the glider is not aligned with the runway in the forward slip.

 Advanced FS Techniques
A forward slip is a descent with one wing lowered using aileron and the longitudinal axis of the airplane yawed at an angle to the flight path using opposite rudder.
Slips are also used in crosswind landings, in which cases a sideslip can be used to create a sideways force that is equal to and opposite to the force of the wind drift.
To land when the wind is not aligned with the runway requires a technique for overcoming the sideways drift that the wind tends to induce.

The landing may be accomplished from a normal approach with full flaps and by raising the nose in flare sufficient so that when power is taken off the plane is still airborne.
The crosswind slip to a landing uses the opposite rudder, as applied to keep the aircraft centerline parallel to the runway centerline.
When practicing crosswind landings it is very important that both left and right patterns be flown to teach planning of the crosswind, downwind, and base legs as well as turning to final with the proper wing low/rudder position.

A forward slip is a descent with one wing lowered and the airplane's longitudinal axis at an angle to the flightpath.
There are many circumstances requiring the use of forward slips, such as in a landing approach over obstacles and in making forced landings, when it is always wise to allow an extra margin of altitude for safety in the original estimate of the approach.
Discontinuing the slip is accomplished by leveling the wings and simultaneously releasing rudder pressure while readjusting pitch attitude to the normal glide attitude.

The slip method involves lowering the upwind wing to correct for drift and applying opposite rudder to prevent turning or weathervaning.
Because the center of gravity is aft of the main gear, a tailwheel airplane is not directionally stable on the ground.
You bounced because: (a) you were too fast when you landed, and you basically skipped off the runway; (b) your descent rate was much too high because you didn’t flare soon enough, fast enough, or both (a) and (b).

But the 102nd shuttle mission could slip out to Jan. 24 or thereabouts when all is said and done because of previously scheduled activity on the Air Force Eastern Range, the network of tracking systems used to support all Florida launchings.
The primary reason for the slip is the delay getting Atlantis off the ground for STS-98 and to avoid what NASA calls a "beta angle cutout," a period when the angle between the station's orbit and the sun is not favorable for solar power generation.
In Spain, showers are predicted within 20 nautical miles of a landing strip near Moron and a low deck of broken clouds is expected at the shuttle's emergency runway near Zaragoza.

The slip and upset area has a cross-sectional area equal to or larger than, the tube body: However, because of the geometry change in the upset, it is a common area for generation and propagation of transverse flaws.
The ability of slips to transfer an axial load (tension) to a transverse load is the premise behind slip crushing.
The coefficient of friction between slips and bowl is the major variable factor in slip crushing.

 Landing in Crosswinds
Landing an aircraft is a precision maneuver we all must master before soloing – and continue that mastery throughout our flying careers.
If we are landing in a left crosswind and find ourselves to the right of the centerline, we increase our angle of bank to the left.
Another good exercise for practice is to fly your aircraft perpendicular to the prevailing in a slip with spoilers deployed, maintaining alignment with a feature on the ground.

The angle hanger connection to the south corner of the landing was thinned from corrosion.
After the landing collapsed, the top flange of the outside 19' long channel was found to be torn/separated from the web on the north side of the mid-span hanger, which suggests that the hook may have been attached to a corrosion hole in the web hanger near the top flange.

I wanted to do a slip to landing, but the fire tankers were using runway 31 heavily, so I did a normal landing on runway 24.
When it was time to landed, we decided to use 24 so that it'd be easier to park the glider where it belongs.
The first was a slip to landing on runway 31 (with a right pattern) while the second was a precision landing on 24.

 The Aerodrome Forum - Help with Aircraft Maneuver
Since most WWI landing areas would probably have been large open fields which would have let the pilot always land into the wind, I'm guessing the side slip technique would not have been used for cross wind control very often.
It's also worth mentioning that the forward slip on landing approach gives the pilot a chance to see the ground, especially in a biplane with severely restricted forward/down visibility.
The forward slip is done into the wind and I would imagine would be a great liability in combat because it increases the size of the target by turning the fuselage sideways a bit.

A "cage" is a guard that is fastened to the side rails of the fixed ladder or to the structure to encircle the climbing space of the ladder for the safety of the person who must climb the ladder.
A ladder safety device is any device, other than a cage or well, designed to eliminate or reduce the possibility of accidental falls and may incorporate such features as life belts, friction brakes, and sliding attachments.
Another feature of fixed ladders is the landing platform which provides a means of interrupting a free fall and serves as a resting place during long climbs.

I thought landing on the weather side wheel, while slightly banking in the wind and a slight pressure on the pedal that will prevent you to weathervane in the crosswind, was the right thing to do.
Landing a tricycle undercarriage aircraft in a crab (where the centre of gravity is in front of the main wheels) means that if you actually touch down in a crabbed position the C of G will automatically try to straighten the aircraft up.
I side slip quite steeply - rudder pedal to the floor - to lose altitude, but if I found myself in that situation to manage a cross wind landing, it would be either find another airport and take the bus, as was mentioned as a prudent choice, or land unconventionally on a taxiway.
