In Formation Skydiving, multiple skydivers jump out of the plane simultaneously and form various formations during freefall. They do this by holding onto each other's arms or legs. It is primarily about teamwork, precision, stability, and timing. FS is often performed in teams and is one of the most practiced disciplines within the sport.

Freefly is a dynamic discipline in which skydivers fly not only prone, but also upright (head-up) or upside down (head-down). As a result, speeds are higher than in traditional skydiving. Freefly requires a great deal of body control and spatial awareness because movements are faster and more technical. Creativity and freedom of movement are very important within freefly.

Canopy Piloting, also known as swooping, focuses on flying the parachute. Jumpers perform fast and controlled maneuvers just above the ground to fly over the landing area at high speed. It is all about precision, speed, and perfect control of the parachute. This discipline is often practiced competitively and requires extensive training and experience.

Canopy formations involve performing controlled formations in the air after opening the parachute. This is done by flying close together with multiple parachutists, holding onto each other, or having the canopy interact to create impressive figures.

Angle Flying is a discipline within skydiving that focuses on controlled flight during freefall. Jumpers adopt an angled body position, causing them not only to fall but also to move horizontally through the air at high speed. It revolves around teamwork, spatial awareness, and precise body control. Often, multiple jumpers fly together in formation along a pre-arranged route. This discipline requires a good command of freefall techniques and is usually practiced by experienced skydivers.

In wingsuit flying, the jumper wears a special suit with fabric between the arms and legs. This provides extra lift, allowing the skydiver not only to fall but also to cover large horizontal distances. Wingsuit flying gives a sensation of gliding or flying and requires a great deal of experience, as control and safety are of paramount importance.

Speed diving aims to achieve the highest possible average descent speed over a set trajectory during freefall. The sport, recognized by the FAI | World Air Sports Federation, revolves entirely around aerodynamics and pure speed.
