I've got a few questions regarding how fast things fall in air combat.
If someone is disarmed while flying or while on the back of a flying mount, does the weapon fall to the ground below on the same round?
If someone is bull-rushed off a flying mount, how does this work? Are there bonuses to CMD for being mounted?
If one creature grapples another while both are flying, do they both fall to the ground on the turn the grapple starts? How does grappling someone off of a flying mount work?
I, too, would like to know these answers. I want to use my Archer to Bullrush people off their flying mounts with his arrows (and special abilities). How does that work? Do they get knocked back some feet, and start to fall?

There aren't really rules for Bull Rushing someone off of a mount, though I think the best guideline would be that they get a Ride check to Stay in the saddle, and if they fail they " plummet to the ground, taking the appropriate falling damage." Based on the description of skill checks in the Fly skill, I'd say that game logic has things hitting the ground in the same round in which they fall.
There seems to be anot in the Falling rules That if you're falling from 500 feet or more, you have time to complete a standard action, but I'm having trouble finding anything else which mentions or expands on this.

I would think it depends on the method of flight. If they're flying via wings it would probably count as a Collision While Flying. If they are flying due to a magical spell, they probably just roll around in the sky with the normal rules for grappling applied.
