Fluggleichgewicht

German to English Other Sports / Fitness / Recreation Bewegungslehre
Are there set terms for "Fluggleichgewicht" and other types of "Gleichgewicht"?

Examples:
Standgleichgewicht
Balanciergleichgewicht
Drehgleichgewicht
Fluggleichgewicht

"Gemäß der Bewältigungssituation werden das Standgleichgewicht, das Balanciergleichgewicht, das Drehgleichgewicht und das Fluggleichgewicht unterschieden."

From a book about exercises for athletes.

Thanks for any pointers.
