Top landing
Landing up at or near launch instead of in the landing field below.
What it means
It usually goes with ridge soaring, when there is enough lift to stay above the slope. It differs from an ordinary landing in its location, not in the act itself.
Example in context
After a session on the ridge I top landed and launched again straight away.
