When a child falls on the floor, it is said "el niño ha aterrizado", colloquially.
When you've been some time without seeing a friend, when you see him you say: "¿De dónde aterrizas tú?". It's also colloquial. But when a spacecraft arrives to the moon, it is not said "aterrizar", but "alunizar". "Amartizar" is also used when the spacecraft arrives to Mars (though it sounds a little forced for me). This is because "aterrizar" is used when we're talking about the Earth (la Tierra), although "tierra" is floor en English.

You can also use '¿ahora aterrizas?' meaning '¿ahora te das cuenta?

When the plane landed on the Hudson in NY, there was a slight debate on the radio as to what verb was the correct one to use in Spanish. In the end it was "amerizar", i.e. El avión amerizó en el Río Hudson.

When a plane has to land on the sea is "amarizar", o sea de "amarar". Are you sure it was amerizar? Was it because the Hudson is a river?

ariozó
 o  sea más justo ahudsonriozó. Amerizó, en realidad es correcto porque a aquel punto el rio estó el mar.
