It would all depend on intent of the caster. It is magic, so stopping a human or a plane with a bind spell, and having the person remain in one piece, is certainly possible. But I think what RD is saying, is that a humans, even mages, generally aren't moving as fast as a jet plane. Going 600 to 1,000 mph means you store up a lot of kinetic energy. Suddenly stopping that with a bind, would tear the plane apart. And probably smoosh the human inside.

And yes, Nanoha can fire off magic bullets and busters easily while flying. Witness her taking down the type 2 drones in Strikers Ep 5. I get that the feeling that by now, Nanoha only needs to stop to cast something big like SLB, or to better aim. Also for dramatic effect, heh. In any event, I'd consider there to be leeway between when she needs to stop and when she can still move.
