It is a good question.

My case is that a moving plane is on the field, and I am able to "lock" it with the sidewinder tone since it is an infrared seeker within the certain range.

I need to try for the plan has landed case.

Should that be possible? An STT lock that is maintained long after the target has landed?

Yes, it is possible. You can lock onto completely still ships out on the water as well.

I wouldn't think so.

How long is "long"?

at least 3 minutes after it landed, i still had a lock. I Launched one Aim-54 before and another after he landed, both failed to hit

It should not work with PD-STT definitely. 
 

if it’s reflective enough, maybe with the right background in P-STT, but ground clutter should really make it unlikely. 
 

You will certainly miss with a Phoenix in P-STT.

I assume Jester did not go to P-STT, i got the lock at around 60nm or so, the target was an il-78 tanker, the lock remained steady and accurate several minutes after it landed.

An IL-78 you can definitely maintain lock on, it's a huge and highly reflective target conpared to ground clutter and there is no MLC filter when STT'ed. So, it not moving is not an issue.
