Stopping instantly could result in climbing a few Z-levels then, but maybe that would still be too quick?

I think that's what RL birds (well, pigeons and sparrows, I haven't seen others for ages) do when they have to land on an edge of the roof or something. They approach a bit from below, and then they use both wing flapping and upward movement to stop and land.
They never seem to climb when landing on flat ground, I guess that would be counter-productive there because landing is more about quenching the vertical speed than about the horizontal component.

Would be particularly useful for my WIP mod which contains hi-tech HFS, including fliers that use turbines/jet engines to fly instead of flapping wings.
