Do you mean while using the Flight Hex?
Flight (Su) (Advanced Player's Guide pg. 66): The witch grows lighter as she gains power, eventually gaining the ability to fly. At 1st level, the witch can use feather fall at will and gains a +4 racial bonus on Swim checks. At 3rd level, she can cast levitate once per day. At 5th level, she can fly, as per the spell, for a number of minutes per day equal to her level. These minutes do not need to be consecutive, but they must be spent in 1-minute increments. This hex only affects the witch.
Levitate doesn't require an action to stay stationary in the air, so it doesn't consume an action.
Fly requires a DC 15 Flight check to hover. It is a check that is made as part of another action, so it is made with the first action you take after deciding to hover.
The same rules apply when you use the spells instead of the hex.

So if we assume the fly version, she can, because her move action is not a 'flight movement action" but "cackle while trying not to crash" action, yes?
Exactly. But you need to check when she takes her first standard or move action, otherwise, the check is meaningless.
As it is a magical form of flight, if she fails she doesn't crash, but she is forced to move.Flying movement would have benefitted from clearer rules.
Officially, we don't know what will happen if a Fly check fails unless the creature flies with wings.
Try Again: Varies. You can attempt a Fly check to perform the same maneuver on subsequent rounds. If you are using wings and you fail a Fly check by 5 or more, you plummet to the ground, taking the appropriate falling damage (see Environment).
We can suppose we are forced to take a move action and move more than half movement, but it is a supposition, not something certain.
