Localizer Back Course Localizer Back Course
Step 1. HDG/ATT or ALT.
The localizer back course
approach begins with a
transition from an enroute
structure to intercept the back
course outbound. An
alternate method would be to
set the inbound front course
with the heading bug and
press the APR switch to set
up a 45° intercept to the back
course.
Step 2. APR/ATT or ALT.
After the intercept, the
autopilot will track the
outbound course and
compensate for any
crosswind and begin “soft
track”.
Step 3. HDG/ATT or ALT.
At the appropriate time, press
the HDG switch to begin the
procedure turn. Altitude
appropriate to this phase of
the approach should be
controlled using ALT or ATT
as necessary
Step 4. HDG/ATT or ALT.
Proceed outbound in the
procedure turn until sufficient
time has elapsed to assure
proper re-interception.
Step 5. HDG/ATT or ALT.
Lead the aircraft through the
procedure turn by moving the
heading bug in the direction of
the turn.
