The AOPA diagram figure 9 shows the airplane making a right hand turn once outbound on the 45 degree leg. The diagram illustrates a standard left turn pattern. However, the FAA says to make all turns to the left unless indicated otherwise yet a right hand turn is shown on the 45 outbound. Should the diagram also show a left turn on the 45 degree outbound or in this articular leg of the pattern a right turn is acceptable?
