They need to be rooted to the Earth when levitating. That's why they use pillars and launchers to get into the air. They can't keep themselves up there. Firebenders can hover for a while and Airbenders come closest to "flying." The exceptions are Avatars in the Avatar state and Firebenders with Comet strength.
