I think it's bugged at the moment. I've tried to get shot by the enemy planes but they deal too much damage with rockets so I tried to force them to use cannons by using countermeasures but they did little damage and get shot down by friendly aircraft before they could do any real harm, even if I asked to be shot down by trying to stay in front of them.
Next I tried to shoot down both planes, and get attacked by ground T-90 or BTR-K but tank does mostly hull damage that leads to slow destruction of the plane while Kamysh does lots of damage from main gun so it's really hard to trigger the event where player gets new objective to repair the aircraft (controls status should be yellow IIRC). BUT problem is that game is scripted so even if you get objective to repair, you would still get prompt to eject and your jet would blow up in like 10 second even if it's fully functional. I even tried to get some damage and landed it on the carrier but it didn't count.
TL;DR Even if you'll succeed in triggering new repair objective game is scripted to blow you up after you get even non-critical damage so it's probably impossible to complete right now.

OK I just got the achievement. I didn't shot a single round/rocket/bomb during mission just used countermeasures.
Anyways I stayed as close as I could to enemy jets so that I would get shot a few times by friendly fire (I mean we literally touched wings with enemy at around 350-400km/h). Few "luckly" bursts from the cannon were enough for hull to get damaged and I got optional RTB objective. In the meantime friendlies killed all enemy planes. Next I just landed on the airport strip and drove to the hangars where the repair truck was located. As soon as it fixed the plane "Deadstick Landing" achievement popped up. Good luck.

And how is it going? I have been trying several time now but nothing happens...
I made a video of this achievement here:

You have to do enough damage to your plane to get the task to repair, but not too much damage that it gets destroyed. I found the easiest way was to do a hard landing at the repair airport. Then you get the task and all you have to do is drive over the the repair trucks. I've also landed at the airport and ran my plane into a building, gently, to get the repair task. I hope that helps.

land at the airport, while taxiing on the runway hit the repair truck with your wing. Easy, it worked for me. A hull damage is enough to trigger the RTB task

I wasn't able to get the repair task after taking down the enemy jets. So make sure you get yourself damaged (like by landing badly) before taking out the enemy jets, otherwise you might not get the repair task anymore (and therefor not able to get the achievement).

I found an easier way to get this achievement. I flew around until the enemy planes were destroyed, then landed at the Altis airport. I did a poor landing and took damage, so I got the objective to repair. I repaired and got the achievement. :-)
