The pitcher must push off the pp, in ISF, but may be airborne.
So leaping is allowed, draging and sliding also.
BUT,
any 2nd push off, anywhere, is an illegal act. (The 2nd push-off is also called crow-hop.)

We learned from guy's like Sonny Pimpilli to watch the hands;
when the hands separate and this causes the body-motion towards home plate, it's very hard to crow-hop. When the feet causes the body-motion towards home plate and thus the hands are still together, the pitcher will be pushing off for a second time with the hands separated. This is illegal!

@KJ
Pay attention: In some org.'s (like ISF) it is legal to leap!!!
