The speed aspect is alright, as would be limited and temporary immunity to terrain effects, but you wouldn't need a cushion anyway. Even when they were launched off the cliff in the show, landing wasn't an issue for anyone but Jaune. Pyrhha shattered trees in her way before landing on a branch, Ren grabbed a tree and slid down in spirals, Yang didn't even do anything to slow down before landing (If anything she sped up in mid-air).

Weiss can sorta-fly-ish with her semblance, but she's doing all the work. The glyphs are basically just walls for her to jump on, and any character could do the same with walls of their own, or even use Weiss' glyphs. There's a fairly fine line between something like that, and flying or hovering, but it's there. Adding a time limitation doesn't make it any less rule-breaking either.

You can have a semblance that achieves what you want here, but the method of this current one leaves it open to potential abuse.
