Seitengleitflug

There are several references if you search in aviation. This term should also apply to flight patterns of birds of prey.

In your example: Seitengleitflug mit Rückenwind

You can also look under "Schiebeflug" or "Slippen" and you will get a bunch of information about how to fly it too!
