How about looking to Mr. Webster to help.
Settling:
v. intr.
To discontinue moving and come to rest in one place.
To move downward; sink or descend, especially gradually"
When one uses the word settling in it's proper usage, one tends to think of settling with power as a power limitation problem. Taken to a bit of an extreme every landing we make is a form of "settling with power". Just because a word is used in a book does not make that word correct, if it isn't used properly.
