No, the left turn preference does not apply to towered airports.


He just explained why it does.

§ 91.129 Operations in Class D airspace.

(a) General. Unless otherwise authorized or required by the ATC
facility having jurisdiction over the Class D airspace area,
each person operating an aircraft in Class D airspace must comply
with the applicable provisions of this section. In addition, each
person must comply with §§91.126 and 91.127......

§ 91.126 Operating on or in the vicinity of an airport in Class G
airspace.

(b) Direction of turns. When approaching to land at an airport
without an operating control tower in Class G airspace-

(1) Each pilot of an airplane must make all turns of that airplane
to the left .....

91.126 only requires left turns at airports without an operating control
tower. How does making right turns at an airport with a control tower
conflict with the 91.129 requirement to be in compliance with 91.126?
