Especially for newer players. Make sure you keep an eye on the stamina bar. You don't want it to run out while airborn, because your pteranodon will be forced to slowly descend to whatever area is directly beneath it, trying to find a flat surface that's not water to land on. Your stamina also won't regenerate until you land, meaning if you try to attack or pick up nothing with your pteranodon you will gain torpidity, but you would have to constantly attack or try picking up nothing for your pteranodon to fall asleep. If you are flying directly above the ocean, your pteranodon will stop right before it hits the water, meaning you won't be dismounted and then the pteranodon will give you free movement to fly anywhere else (probably to land), albeit at a very slow speed because you have no stamina. For example, if you are forced to land in the swamp the both of you will either be fine or 100% dead depending on if there's any creatures nearby. If you land near dilos or raptors you will probably be fine because the pteranodon can attack on land using its beak, and its attack speed paired with its knockback can easily make you chain attacks infinitely until they die, or your pteranodon falls asleep.(this is unlikely to happen unless you attack over 200 times with no stamina) The ability of the pteranodon to attack on land using its beak is only available on mobile, plus all versions of the game except one (you should probably be able to guess which version and which mobile i'm talking about)
