Do you have a better single word or short phrase to describe it though?

Well the aviation people, who also control vehicles that are controlled by banking, don't bother to come up with a special name. When teaching people to fly they first teach how the controls can be used to control the attitude of the vehicle (roll, pitch, yaw are the terms that are used). Then they start a whole new discussion of how various attitudes will affect where the vehicle will end up.

Some things can't really be simplified (and perhaps shouldn't be).
