So I always sort of assumed that flyby attack just let you take your standard action for that turn to attack during a flying move. But now that I actually go and read it again, that's not what it says:
Benefit
When flying, the creature can take a move action (including a dive) and another standard action at any point during the move. The creature cannot take a second move action during a round when it makes a flyby attack.
Am I misreading this? Especially given the second sentence, it seems to be saying that it gives you an extra standard action. It says "another standard action", and more importantly, it says you can't take a second move action (the only reason that could be an issue is because you have a standard action left after your flyby attack that could otherwise be used to move.)
That can't possibly be the way it was intended to read, but... well, isn't that what it seems to say?
(Hmm, flyby attack + hustle = ...)
