For those in a rush: Adventurers, p. 87. If your flying combatants are mounted, then falling is a big deal. Here are some more quick-and-dirty rules for that:

If the mount must roll vs. DX or skill to negotiate a difficult obstacle, is wounded, or fails a Fright Check and is spooked, the rider must make a Riding roll; apply the mount's shock penalty (-1 to -4) if the roll is due to injury. If the rider suffers stun, knockdown, or knockback, the rider must make a Riding roll at -4. If any of these Riding rolls fail, the rider falls off! Falling off is automatic in the case of rider unconsciousness or death. Use the mount's altitude as the falling distance; the minimum fall is two yards.
