Travail aérien de plusieurs parachutistes chutant ensemble [...] et essayant soit de se rattraper en l'air, soit de se maintenir les uns par rapport aux autres.

La «voltige» consiste à exécuter une série de figures imposées. Enfin, le «vol relatif» ou «travail relatif» est une épreuve par équipes dans laquelle 4 ou 8 concurrents effectuent une série de manœuvres en chute libre. Les championnats du monde comportent les 3 épreuves; les hommes et les femmes y prennent part séparément. Il y a également un champion pour l'ensemble des épreuves.

OBS

Selon la Fédération française du parachutisme le «vol relatif» a été appelé «travail relatif» jusqu'en 1975.
