This is true, but if I read the OP correctly, the knockback in question is 28 yards for an average goon. That's considerably more than one move. I certainly think that if a character with flight had an action while still flying through the air, they could simply right themselves.

EDIT: And while I'm at it...

I think this would probably apply to catfall and clinging too. If you're knocked back less than your move, you have no time to act. If you're knocked back more than your move, you have an action before you hit the ground and can say something like "I'd like to make an acrobatics roll and use catfall to land softly" or "I'm looking for a tree/wall/buddy to cling to mid flight".
