Landing like an aircraft? (5)
I believe the answer is:
jetty
'landing' is the definition.
(I know that jetty is a type of landing)
'like an aircraft?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'like' could be 'y' (similar in meaning) and 'y' is present in the answer.
'aircraft?' could be 'jet' (jet is a kind of aircraft) and 'jet' is located in the answer.
A single letter 't' remains which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for jetty that I've seen before include "Pier - landing stage" , "Quay" , "Small landing stage" , "Wharf" , "Dock" .)
