You gain a fly speed of 60ft a round. You have to make the skill check if you do anything that needs a skill check for. Look under the fly skill to see what things need a fly check. If you fly and don't do anything that needs a check then you don't need a check.
Flying requires no skill check. Doing something in the Fly skill section that says it needs a check requires a check.
Example
If you fly level at more than half your speed you don't need to make a fly check.

It would help to read the fly skill for when you need to make checks.
Check: You generally need only make a Fly check when you are attempting a complex maneuver. Without making a check, a flying creature can remain flying at the end of its turn so long as it moves a distance greater than half its speed. It can also turn up to 45 degrees by sacrificing 5 feet of movement, can rise at half speed at an angle of 45 degrees, and can descend at any angle at normal speed. Note that these restrictions only apply to movement taken during your current turn. At the beginning of the next turn, you can move in a different direction than you did the previous turn without making a check. Taking any action that violates these rules requires a Fly check. The difficulty of these maneuvers varies depending upon the maneuver you are attempting, as noted on the following chart.
