Impact on belly as breakfast arriving? (7,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pancake landing

'impact on belly' is the definition.
(emergency landing where a plane lands on its belly)

'breakfast arriving?' is the wordplay.
'breakfast' becomes 'pancake' (pancakes might be eaten for breakfast).
'arriving?' becomes 'landing' (landing is a kind of arriving).
'pancake'+'landing'='PANCAKE LANDING'

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pancake landing that I've seen before include "Crash course for pilot" , "Emergency touchdown" , "happening on Shrove Tuesday" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
