IIRC, the original question was about aerospace fighters. Since the only
things that can fire at aerospace fighters is ZAD and LAD, p42 overrides
p.29. As for VTOLs, I would say that they are simply immobilized.
Remember
that airborne vehicles are already more fragile with their lower armor
values. Immobilized does not necessarily imply that the engines are out.
It simply means that it is not possible (or safe) to move the vehicle.

In a campaign setting, it is entirely up to you to decide what
immobilized
means _after_ the game.
