So, in the rules, a flyer can only pivot once before it moves. However, if a Flyer comes on the board from reserve, the rulebook says it can do so facing any direction it wants, provided the resulting move doesn't take it off the board. The last sentence kinda confuses me. Can someone simplify it for me? Thank you in advance.

What's confusing about that statement?

You can't face the flyer in a direction where the minimum amount of movement takes it off the table because a flyer is not allowed to fly off the same turn it comes on. So it has to face a direction it can actually fly towards since it still has to move when it comes on the table and can't turn midway through the movement line.

Oh, I thought it could move onto the table and then face any direction it wanted. Well, that sucks.
