I would use them as advanced scouts from the air to give recon information back to my side on enemy movements and fortifications. Proper up to date information is more useful then numbers on the ground.

I'll toss my opinion in:
I think GW2 has set the golden standard for "flying" mounts. There is a bit of skill involved with managing momentum, stamina and route planning. You can't just point the mount in a direction and go afk.
Commanders in the air calling shots, since they r gonna have aerial view to make correct decisions. Those using it as a weapon and not a tool won't last long imo.
This temporary flight would not be longer than an hour at a time, with very limited tolerance for taking damage and carrying capacity, and allow the player a few combat skills while flying comparable to mounted combat skills.
Are you referring to the Royal Flying mounts here? I think its quite clear what Stephens thinking is on this topic.
What we have a whole lot less information and direction is of is those `Gliding` mounts and what to expect from those.
The wiki for Gliding Mounts is 3 dot points and (imo) could use a bit of love.
Terminology mixup isn't helping anything here
Or maybe I've just misunderstood this whole thread from the beginning (definitely possible).
PLEASE NO WINGS!!! Putting wings on everyone honestly ruins a game. GW2 is a good example.
Some old maps in GW2 got easier but others were cool.
i wasnt advocating for wings, i merely highlighted the wings have the same effect as the gliders in AA lol.
