[edit: sorry] Dozy!
Gauchir is a verb meaning "twisting", there is no notion of direction, you can "gauchir" to the right or to the left! Gauchissement is the noun of the action of twisting, in aeronautical, it is [edit: roll moment] ... in whatever direction!

When he says, "avec du gauchissement", he just says that he is using [edit: roll] imputs, where do you read that he applies "left" [edit: roll]?

Please, find the meaning of that:
"Le gauchissement est l'action de gauchir c'est-à-dire tordre, vriller."
