English term or phrase: 1 unit left trim
"Figure 7 shows that the rudder trim knob on the control pedestal was set at approximately 1 unit left trim. In summary, no pre-occurrence discontinuities in the rudder trim circuit were found, and the rudder trim was set at 1 unit left trim at the time of impact."

Regarding an investigation of an aircraft occurrence.

Thanks for the help!

une compensation à gauche d'une unité
Explanation:
"The rudder trim was indicating full right rudder trim; however, the rudder trim was positioned at nearly the full left trim position. The flaps were indicating 10° down, and the actual flap position corresponded with the indicator.

L'indicateur du compensateur de direction montrait une compensation maximale à droite; toutefois, le compensateur se trouvait près de la position maximale gauche. L'indicateur de position des volets indiquait une sortie de 10°, ce qui correspondait à la véritable position des volets."
