What is the first turn direction?
On which runway do you turn final from base?


If you're thinking he is asking for a sidestep, that's not how I would
interpret it. I would assume this instruction means they are not using
17R/35L, however if I get an instruction that sends me across other
potential traffic, I just run it by them, "Right downwind One Seven
left, my base leg will cross one sevn right three five left axis" then
it's 50/50 as to whether I get "correct, cross....." or "correction,
right downwind one seven right, cleared to land".
