I’m not sure what the actual definition is, but I would not consider it a crash if the aircraft performed a controlled landing, incurred no damage and flew again without repair.
Imagine a scheduled flight between New York and Paris that developed an issue that forced it to land early in London. I would not call that a crash, I would call it a unscheduled (emergency) landing.

Oh shit yeah, good point!
Still, why call an emergency landing “unscheduled”? We already have a term that works perfectly fine and is less ambiguous.
Emergency makes it sound like there was an accident
