Crossword Genius

Take off from the landing field (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strip

I believe this is a double definition.

'take off' is the first definition.
(I know that strip is a type of take off)

'the landing field' is the second definition.
(strip is a kind of landing field)

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for strip that I've seen before include "Lay bare" , "footballers' outfit" , "Remove covering from" , "Team kit" , "Empty" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
