Tree landing
An unintended landing in the crown of a tree.
What it means
Unlike a normal landing, the place is forced rather than chosen, often after falling short of the landing field. Getting the wing back out of the branches can take longer than the flight itself.
Example in context
I fell short of the landing field and ended up in a tree below the hill.
