KLM captain still not cleared for landing? (6,8)
I believe the answer is:
flying dutchman
'landing?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flying dutchman that I've seen before include "legendary figure for British" , "KLM pilot" .)
