Ah, that ephemeral pilot construct: If it's not a `crash` its an `arrival`.  :wink:

 

As my old instructor huffed when asked about the old adage `Any landing you can walk away from is a good one`

"A good landing is only when the aircraft can be taken off from the runway again, not taken off to the hangar for extensive repairs..." 

 

He was a miserable old sod, but strictly speaking...
