Yes you may use spring attack while flying. There is no restriction against it.
Yes you need spring attack to not provoke, while flying since fly-by attack has nothing that prevents AoO's.

If you can spring attack while flying, why would any creature ever take fly-by attack? Fly-by attack does exactly the same thing as spring attack but provokes attacks of opportunity.
The only prerequisite for Fly-by Attack is having a fly speed. Spring Attack requires Dex 13, Dodge, Mobility and BAB +4.

Fly-by Attack allows for standard actions, but you can still provoke.
Spring Attack limits you to melee attacks, but there is no provoking.| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |

Because Fly-by Attack is much, much, MUCH better than Spring Attack? SA doesn't work with basically any feats (no Vital Strike, etc) and only lets you make one single melee attack. Fly-by Attack, on the other hand, lets you take a standard action in between moves. That can be casting a spell, using a breath weapon, making a Vital Strike bite attack, or pretty much anything else you can do with a standard action. Including making a single melee attack.
I would also just put ranks in acrobatics if I had Fly-By Attack. There is no ruling against using that skill while flying.
