to land (on an aircraft carrier)
A specialized naval-aviation verb meaning to land on an aircraft carrier — the standard spelling alongside the variant aponter, both describing this specific carrier-landing maneuver, distinct from atterrir (land on ground) and amerrir (land on water).
Learners will see this word spelled both apponter and aponter — both refer to the same aircraft-carrier landing maneuver; it's specialized military/aviation vocabulary, not everyday French.
