Back Course

BC (Back Course) refers to the reverse direction of an Instrument Landing System (ILS) localizer. Normally, an ILS guides aircraft along a precise approach path, but on a back course, pilots receive reverse needle indications, requiring careful interpretation to avoid navigation errors.

Back courses are used when an ILS installation doesn’t have a dedicated approach from one side, allowing planes to land using the opposite signal path. Pilots must adjust autopilot settings or use non-standard procedures to follow a BC approach safely.
