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.
Pilot reported conflicting traffic pattern information provided at FA83; resulting in inflight conflicts.
