Narrative:
While making the ILS approach in VFR conditions tower told me to make a right downwind for runway 13. I asked to continue the approach to the MM before breaking off. I made a right turn to left downwind and landed on runway 17. Preoccupied with practicing the ILS and mistook right downwind, for right turn to downwind. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated he was flying a cessna 421. He stated he was cleared to land on runway 13 while still on the ILS approach to runway 31 so the tower did not notice until after he landed on runway 17 what had happened.
