I'm new to D&D. I've read certain answers to questions similar to mine, but I wish further clarification.
Can I, as a Winged Tiefling, fall onto an opponent as part of an attack? And more specifically, does the distance I fall deduct from my movement distance tally?
Example
I have a speed of 30 feet, and I'm 15 feet over an opponent. I wish to fall onto him, using my body weight as a weapon. I then want to move 15 feet, cast a spell as an action, then move 15 (or Dash 30) feet as a Bonus Action and cast a Cantrip.
Would the falling 15 feet, as it's unwilling movement, cost me movement, thus removing the second part of my movement phase?

Falling does not use up your movement speed, no.
However, be aware that rules-as-written you're going to take bludgeoning damage when you land (1d6 per 10 feet of falling). If you're falling very large distances, you descend 500 feet per round.
I don't believe there are explicit mechanics for handling deliberately falling onto a creature, you'll have to work that out with your DM.
