What's a landing?

To be counted as a landing does the skids have to physically touch the airport surface or an approach in to a hover than a take off counts as well.

I cannot find any references about this.
Maybe there's a reason for that Mitch. I think Krypton John sums it up nicely in his post for you

The way I look at it, a question for you; in your emergency drills should you reach the point of reading "Land as soon as ..... ", what would you do?


Maybe landing and touch down are two different things
Priceless .... is that like the anomalies with a try and a touchdown; where the award of a try is once the objective has been achieved and with a touchdown the ball doesn't actually have to touch the ground?
