When you land on a carrier from another SZ,
do you count the SZ you enter and then 1 more to land on the carrier itself?
no.

page 12 and page 28 cover it. One exception though. A ftr belonging to a friendly power that is on a carrier that has been damaged is considered cargo and cannot load/unload until the carrier is repaired.
The rules talk about the SZ bonus “from” a carrier, but I do not see where it grants the SZ bonus when landing onto a carrier.
You only use a movement point when you cross a boundary between spaces. Taking off from or landing on a carrier does not involve crossing such a boundary because both the carrier and plane are both in the same sea zone.
