These were subject to major debate during my last game and I promised I consult the Oracle before our next game, which is tomorrow!
1. Can flyers capture objectives? If they can, do they have to land to do so?
2. Is there a distinction in the rules (for the purposes of Line of Sight and cover) between being in a building, and being on the roof of a building?
3. Does a unit outside a building have LoS to an enemy unit inside (or on the roof of) a building, if that unit is not positioned next to the edge of the building that faces the unit outside?
4. Do flyers have Line of Sight to enemy units on/inside buildings if the target unit is not next to the edge that faces the flyer?
Thanks in advance!

Hi!
1. No. I would have thought it said that somewhere.
2. Since the original building for the game models could only be placed on the "roof" it was deemed they were actually in the building. You would apply all appropriate modifiers for being in a building.
IF you have an actual terrain piece with actual "floors" distinct from a "roof", then its up to you to define what it means to be on the "roof". I personally would just apply building modifiers and call it a day.
3. This one is bound to produce some arguments. I think originally you could only trace LOS to elements on the same side the firing elements were. I personally don't knit pick that much, but that is just me.
4. Same as 3.
