Usage notes
editWhen 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).
