I don't kbow about reptiles but birds are dinosaurs and I have a pigeon that escaped from a for meat breeder and when I took her to a bird vet they said pigeons don't actually poop while flying and they usually have some microbe or something that gives them diarrhea. After getting her treatments she poops out solid nugs.
So I would say ground or high perching point unless they have some sort of health condition.
Is there any species that flies but lands specifically to poop? That seems very inefficient. Though I guess dragons couldn't really glide like birds so they wouldn't save that much energy by staying airborne.

They're ground poopers. Birds poop en-passant but dragons are a reptiles. How many reptiles do you know that do air pooping?

That's a T-Rex.

Birds are dinosaurs, not reptiles. So, the pictured T. rex (a dinosaur) is a bird and does thus not count for "reptiles that do air".

Birds are reptiles too, and many of them are ground poopers or even water poopers!

Air. With a body that large they're not going to bother landing to poop.

I assume they have cloacas right?

I'd think so, but that doesn't resolve the question.

They're ATP, All-Terrain-Poopers

Have you considered they could be water poopers? Like ducks?
