The first sentence is in present perfect tense (has landed), indicating that the action happened in the past but has relevance to the present. The second sentence is in simple future tense, indicating that the action will happen in the future. The correct form of the main verb in simple future tense is "will + base form of the verb," which means we need to use the base form of the verb "land," making A the correct choice.
