Narrative:

Small aircraft X (BE35) called inbound to dvt from the north 3 mi out, already in class D airspace instructed to enter right downwind runway 25R. Moments later small aircraft X could not be located. Using identify feature with tower BRITE small aircraft X was located over sdl inside class D airspace. Small aircraft X was instructed to exit sdl class D airspace with instructions to enter straight in runway 25R at dvt. Small aircraft X did not report his runway 25R straight in, flew opposite direction to the right downwind causing conflict with C172 (small aircraft Y) who informed me of the BE35. I now had visual contact with small aircraft X and instructed him to make a right 180 degrees, make right traffic to runway 25R. Small aircraft X made a right 360 degrees and continued wbound. I instructed small aircraft X to continue the right turn and fly directly eastbound. At this point small aircraft X had regained his bearings and landed runway 25R without further incident. Supplemental information from acn 393581: we called normal approach position to skyranch, carefree, az, at 15 mi and were told airport closed due to mishap. We elected to divert to deer valley, phoenix, called up deer valley tower, but were 1 mi inside their airspace when they responded. Told to take right downwind to runway 25R. We acknowledged and complied. Requested base turn, but tower could not identify us and we extended downwind which took us into scottsdale airspace. We were then directed to fly north heading, then west for direct into runway 25R. Aircraft flying east passed us about 1/4 mi off left wing. Then directed to do 180 degrees which took us north of field. We then had to and were directed to turn eastbound north of field for second attempt. Tower called our base this time and we landed safely.

Title: A BE35 DIVERTED TO DVT AND INADVERTENTLY PENETRATED THE SDL CLASS D AIRSPACE AND ENTERED THE DVT CLASS D AIRSPACE WITHOUT A CLRNC. PLT GOT CONFUSED OVER WHICH WAY THE TWR WANTED HIM TO TURN AND WHAT TFC PATTERN TO FLY. IN THE PROCESS HE GOT CLOSE TO A C172 IN THE TFC PATTERN FOR RWY 25R AT DVT. ONCE THE ARPT WAS LOCATED THE ACFT LANDED WITHOUT ANY OTHER PROBS.

Narrative: SMA X (BE35) CALLED INBOUND TO DVT FROM THE N 3 MI OUT, ALREADY IN CLASS D AIRSPACE INSTRUCTED TO ENTER R DOWNWIND RWY 25R. MOMENTS LATER SMA X COULD NOT BE LOCATED. USING IDENT FEATURE WITH TWR BRITE SMA X WAS LOCATED OVER SDL INSIDE CLASS D AIRSPACE. SMA X WAS INSTRUCTED TO EXIT SDL CLASS D AIRSPACE WITH INSTRUCTIONS TO ENTER STRAIGHT IN RWY 25R AT DVT. SMA X DID NOT RPT HIS RWY 25R STRAIGHT IN, FLEW OPPOSITE DIRECTION TO THE R DOWNWIND CAUSING CONFLICT WITH C172 (SMA Y) WHO INFORMED ME OF THE BE35. I NOW HAD VISUAL CONTACT WITH SMA X AND INSTRUCTED HIM TO MAKE A R 180 DEGS, MAKE R TFC TO RWY 25R. SMA X MADE A R 360 DEGS AND CONTINUED WBOUND. I INSTRUCTED SMA X TO CONTINUE THE R TURN AND FLY DIRECTLY EBOUND. AT THIS POINT SMA X HAD REGAINED HIS BEARINGS AND LANDED RWY 25R WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 393581: WE CALLED NORMAL APCH POS TO SKYRANCH, CAREFREE, AZ, AT 15 MI AND WERE TOLD ARPT CLOSED DUE TO MISHAP. WE ELECTED TO DIVERT TO DEER VALLEY, PHOENIX, CALLED UP DEER VALLEY TWR, BUT WERE 1 MI INSIDE THEIR AIRSPACE WHEN THEY RESPONDED. TOLD TO TAKE R DOWNWIND TO RWY 25R. WE ACKNOWLEDGED AND COMPLIED. REQUESTED BASE TURN, BUT TWR COULD NOT IDENT US AND WE EXTENDED DOWNWIND WHICH TOOK US INTO SCOTTSDALE AIRSPACE. WE WERE THEN DIRECTED TO FLY N HEADING, THEN W FOR DIRECT INTO RWY 25R. ACFT FLYING E PASSED US ABOUT 1/4 MI OFF L WING. THEN DIRECTED TO DO 180 DEGS WHICH TOOK US N OF FIELD. WE THEN HAD TO AND WERE DIRECTED TO TURN EBOUND N OF FIELD FOR SECOND ATTEMPT.
