As you said, the first example is correct. As for the second one, it is not correct in writing. In conversation, sometimes you may have heard someone say "he landed the plane safe".

Would you mind explaining why the second sentence is not correct?

Because safe is an adjective and not an adverb. It could not be used to modify the action of the verb "landed".
