Can you hover with overland flight?

First Post
A Player in my game wanted to use overland flight to let his overweight gnome wizard (9th level) travel without having to walk (now that his riding dog was killed). At first I was going to allow it, but then we noticed the spell gives only average maneuverability, versus the regular fly spell which gives good maneuverability. Good allows hover, average does not. Average means the flyer must maintain half speed forward (20' for overland flight) to stay aloft.

I never thought of flying magic being restricted by physics, so this surprised me. What about the 5th-level spell makes hovering unbalanced?
