Localizer Back Course
Note: The Century 2000 autopilot is capable of tracking lateral information
from a loran or GPS. Several factors in procedure and operation are important

course width too wide would cause the autopilot to S-turn back and forth along

to CDI movement. When tracking a desired waypoint, the bearing information
will be displayed on the loran or GPS.
