Usually called Primary Flight Controls. They are: Elevator, Rudder and Aileron.

A few aircraft's use Spoilers as the only mean of lateral control. These spoilers would be primary flight controls on these planes.

All other flight controls are called secondary. Slats, flaps, stabilizer, spoilers, speed brakes etc...

How does a pilot control flight?

A pilot controls flight primarily through the aircraft's flight control systems, which include the ailerons, elevators, and rudder. By manipulating the control yoke or stick, the pilot can adjust the ailerons to roll the aircraft, the elevators to pitch up or down, and the rudder to control yaw. Throttle controls manage engine power, affecting altitude and speed. Together, these controls allow the pilot to navigate, maintain stability, and execute maneuvers during flight.
