Narrative:

Flew left pattern. Airport facility directory said right pattern. Misread airport facility directory. Was later informed by another pilot. Supplemental information from acn 320992: on our dual training flight, we were flying into an unfamiliar airport. We checked the airport facility directory for any different operational considerations and inadvertently missed the right traffic for runway 9 and flew left traffic.
