Land in flames (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alight

I believe this is a double definition.

'land' is the first definition.
(alighting is a kind of landing)

'in flames' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

(Other definitions for alight that I've seen before include "Disembark; on fire" , "Step off the bus because it's on fire?" , "in flames" , "Dismount" , "Land; burning" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent and The Telegraph.
