So after seeing how Zaheer's flight abilities worked in the show, I have come to the conclusion that flight abilities don't work if the airbender is weighed down or anything, or if their feet are frozen, unmovable, etc. basically, they must remain lightweight to fly. So, I think, if the airbender wears armor (for example, if it is metalbended onto them with metal clips), or if they are frozen, then flight should not be possible, or canceled if already in affect, for a short amount of time and while wearing the armor or weighed down. In addition, being bloodbended should cancel the effect and should obviously not be possible while bloodbending or metal clips is in effect, due to the abilities' control over the body, especially bloodbending. Being hit by any attack should also cancel the affect, but still allow the airbender to quickly reactivate the ability. In addition, as shown when Korra pulled Zaheer towards the ground when being dragged down in the tornado, He did not use airbending to break his fall. If the airbender is unable to reactivate the ability before falling to the ground, they should receive fall damage.
All the above however, will be negated and will not affect flight if the airbender is in the Avatar State.
