Salute!
All of the Harrier technology and procedures and such are not relevant to the F-35 when it is landing in one of the modes where the fan is running and all those doors are open and the engine nozzle has swiveled to provide upward thrust.
Great to hear a revue of all the Harrier stuff, but the F-35 is in another universe. I personally know a Harrier pilot, and have been briefed about landing the beast, so not a pure armchair commentator.
Go to the F-35 forums on F-16 dot net and others to get a good understanding of how the thing is supposed to work.
