In the sonic rainboom ep, Twilight doesn't cast the walk on clouds spell on rarity, she only gave her wings.
Halfway through the ep rarity is seen admiring her wings in a mirror, but standing on a cloud. At the end of the ep, when she loses her wings she has to be held up by other pegasi, and sit in the blimp due to not being able to stand on clouds. wat |

I suppose it's because her wings could support her weight. |

the wings themselves have a passive cloud-walking buff.
this is with all winged ponies, not just ones with the wing spell. so for example if a pegasus has it's wings clipped/cut off, or simply removed, that buff would then fade from said pegasus. |

Presumably, the wings provided cloudwalking as long as they were intact. |

Yeah I think too that the cloud-walking was a passive side-effect of the wing spell, but I noticed that too. |

"gossamer wings" is an advanced multicomponent spell meant to mimic the set of spell-like abilities of pegasi, not a set of functional wings.
Throughout the episode Rarity is seen flapping her wing only for propulsion, in fact, during her routine she mostly leaps and dances like on the ground and during the "Icarus burnout" and "wahaha" shots remains stationary in mid air whit her wings spread wide and perpendicular to the ground. |

^ Hehe, well anything to cover plot holes (why would you want to do that?).
It's probably just a miss, or an accidental miss, since this IS a kids show. |

I'm reminded of the Simpsons show, where a nerd in the audience pointed out that a rib xylophone made two distinct separate noises when it hit the same rib. This is the embodiment of that. :P |

Xylophones are magic. |

I wouldn't really call this a plot hole, though. I thought it was pretty clear that the wing spell also allows the pony to walk on clouds. So when she lost her wings, she had to be in the balloon.
Basically, what #392845 said. The wings gave her all the abilities of a pegasus pony. |
