For ADS systems the special chits do not apply. However, when direct weapons
are fired against air vehicles then they do (HELs etc). If you get a mobility
hit then make the pilot roll a quality die versus the altitude (low is bad,
high is good) and the terrain (clear is good, cluttered is
bad) and conduct a non-powered landing.  If he beats it he and his cargo
are cool. If he meets it he and his cargo are damaged. If he rolls too low,
well... better dispatch some cables home to their families...

Gort, Klaatu barada nikto!
