Landing plane totally empty (5)
I believe the answer is:
jetty
'landing' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'plane totally empty' is the wordplay.
'plane' becomes 'jet' (jet plane is a kind of plane).
'empty' says to hollow out the word (remove centre letters).
'totally' with its middle taken out is 'ty'.
'jet'+'ty'='JETTY'
(Other definitions for jetty that I've seen before include "Small landing stage" , "Quay" , "Dock" , "Pier - landing stage" , "Wharf" .)
