A. The aircraft is East.
B. The aircraft is South.
C. The aircraft is West.
Answer: A. The aircraft is East.
Runway 13 points about 130 degrees, to the southeast. A left-hand pattern keeps the runway on the pilot's left, which puts the downwind leg on the northeast side of the runway, so the aircraft is east of it.
