Let's say it says "Landed 21:53", does it mean:
a) the plane touched ground at 21:53
b) the plane reached the gate and began docking at 21:53
c) the passengers started leaving the plane at 21:53

Does anyone have experience from within the control room?
as Craig6z stated, the general translation is:
on the ground = "LANDED"
at the gate, engines off, parking brake set = ARRIVED

for the geeks, from my long-ago Boeing Flight Test days, these corresponded to ACARS "ON" and "IN" respectively
