Landing

A landing is a full-stop landing: the aircraft returns to the ground and comes to a stop, or slows enough that the flight is considered terminated. In Syndik8, each aircraft flight log records exactly one full-stop landing, plus its separate nonnegative whole-number touch-and-go count. An explicit ground run records zero of both. Record separate flight legs separately; the full-stop count is chosen through Flight or Ground run, rather than a number field. Historical logs keep their original counts unless those counts are explicitly corrected. Correcting a finalised log changes the technical record and maintenance totals; applying a new charge is a separate admin action.

Landings feed two things: event-fee billing (where the asset has a landing fee configured) and cycle-based maintenance counters. A landing fee applies only when the flight’s arrival is the asset’s home airfield (or a syndicate default home airfield); away landings are not charged.

Contrast with a touch-and-go, which is a landing immediately followed by take-off without a full stop.
