A back bearing is;

• Measured clockwise pointing to the exact opposite direction (180°) to the direction referencing.

• Measured anticlockwise pointing to the exact opposite direction (180°) to the direction referencing.

• Measured clockwise pointing to the exact opposite direction (080°) to the direction referencing.

• A rotatable support cushion built into aircraft seats to reduce back pain in flight.
