4.4.4.a. Localizer Back Course (BC) Operation

When flying a Back Course final approach (the aircraft heading is opposite to the localizer

front course), set the CRS value to the front course localizer or ILS approach value. The tail

of the CDI will match the back course runway’s magnetic orientation.

When the LOC(BC) mode is active, two “BC” annunciations are shown; on the Attitude

Display left of the Lateral Deviation Indicator (LDI) and on the ARC Compass left of the

Course Deviation Scale (Figure 4-62a). The left/right deviation indications are corrected

for reverse sensing and will behave intuitively, the same as with a front course localizer.

Ich habe es mir zur Gewohnheit gemacht, bei jeder erteilten Abkürzung die übersprungenen Waypoints aus dem Flightplan zu löschen. Das erspart imaginäre Kurslinien - ich habe immer nur den aktuellen Track in magenta, was das Display sehr entlastet.
