Narrative:
Small transport X reported stera, the final approach fix on localizer back course. Atx Y was cleared for takeoff. Small transport X received his DME from the VOR and not the localizer as he should have. Small transport X broke out of the clouds on the left side of atx Y over the departure end of runway 24. Solution: radar coverage or/and a warning on the approach plates.
