Nah.

90 degrees (relative) is right turn.

'Nother 270 degree turn (relative to the new course at right angles to the first course) completes the full circle.

(He wants to land on runway 33 = 330 degrees true. First 90 deg turn puts him on course 060 true.

Next 270 degree (relative) turn puts back on course 330 true.

A 90-270 maneuver is a method of reversing course. If his initial heading were 330, he'd wind up heading 150 after the two turns.

IANAP but, according to the description in the original:

...yank into a sixty degree left bank, turning the aircraft ninety degrees offset from runway heading. As soon as we roll out of the turn, I reverse turn to the right a full two hundred seventy degrees...
