[Stephen Ede]

What happens if a Winged Flyer in the air fails it's save vs Sleep.
Is it treated as if paralysed or what?

Thanks

A paralyzed character is frozen in place and unable to move or act. A paralyzed character has effective Dexterity and Strength scores of 0 and is helpless, but can take purely mental actions. A winged creature flying in the air at the time that it becomes paralyzed cannot flap its wings and falls. A paralyzed swimmer can't swim and may drown. A creature can move through a space occupied by a paralyzed creature—ally or not. Each square occupied by a paralyzed creature, however, counts as 2 squares to move through.

It's not paralyzed, it's asleep.
It can't flap its wings, and it falls.
