Tips and Notes:

With group 3 activated you can use vtol to help control the jet at lower air speeds.

Group 3 thrust vectoring also allows for post stall manoeuvres.

For carrier landings, throttle 0%, once an approach is established, enable group 4 vtol when comfortable below the green arc (200 kts), approach the area at a visual walking pace, use pitch to speed up and slow down, make sure vtol bar is at least half up before slowing past 70 kts (this will keep you from dropping at stall), from here you can treat it like a helicopter and land how you see fit.
