The pilot and the co-pilot are responsible for landing the airplane.
airport
It is called a RUNWAY

As in airplanes, touched down. As in fishing, caught. As in girls, hooked up.
Hydraulics help an airplanes landing gear by retracting it (raising it into the plane). Simple gravity is what pulls it down into place.

Uhh...keeping airplanes from lying on the ground when they're not flying?
no obstructions if the plane needs to be evacuated in an emergency
Landing lights are placed at the airports. Airplanes do not have them. They two or three blinking lights which they put on when they fly at night. Airplanes absolutely DO have landing lights. They generally turn on landing lights when on final, established on an approach, or in general, a few minutes prior to landing. Many pilots use variations of the pre-landing check or GUMPBLES while on final or just before... Gas (on), Undercarriage (gear down), Mixture(rich), Prop (forward), Brakes (check), Landing Light(s) (ON), Engine Gauges (in the green), Seatbelts (fastened). The big guys often have flashing landing lights which generally serve the same purpose, but are obviously more visibly apparent, especially useful at busier airports where situational awareness is critical for controllers as well as nearby airplanes holding short, waiting for takeoff, or taxiing on the ground.. They also help light up the runway centerline when visibility is low or dark on landing. At 150mph, and closing in on the ground in the dark, those landing lights come in pretty handy when you're looking for that runway centerline.
they do that if it crashes or doesn't make a proper landing and if it catches fire there is no fuel to burn and there is a lot less chances of it blowing up
Because airplanes only make money when they're in flight.
