Narrative:
The FAA sectionals show that runway 27 has a left hand pattern for FA83. This pattern would put aircraft in close proximity to aircraft at bob white airfield X61; which lists runway 9 with a left hand pattern. Two situations occur. [Information] at FA83 [says] runway 27 is reported as a right hand pattern; contrary to the FAA information. This is a safety conflict. I have observed aircraft flying both left and right hand patterns for FA83 runway 27 before. The second; in calm winds or direct crosswinds (0 or 180) deciding to use 9 or 27 at X61 or FA83 could cause a significant conflict where pilots would be on head on patterns. X61 runway 27 left hand pattern with a FA83 runway 9 left hand pattern would put aircraft in the same airspace and potentially during crosswind to downwind turns.
