An example UAV landing structure includes a landing platform for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), wherein the UAV comprises a winch system comprising a tether coupleable to a payload, wherein the landing platform includes a cavity therein; and a track that runs along the landing platform wherein the track includes a straight portion of raised track and a tapered portion of raised track that begins at the straight portion and tapers out to edges of the cavity such that, after the UAV lands on the landing platform, the track guides the UAV to a docked position over the cavity, wherein the UAV travels along the landing platform to the docked position under power from the UAV.
