Ailerons are used in pairs to control the aircraft in roll (or movement around the aircraft's longitudinal axis), which normally results in a change in flight path due to the tilting of the lift vector. Movement around this axis is called rolling or banking.

While most commonly used to stabilize against roll, it can also be used for counteracting yaw and pitch as well.
