Of course its a requirement, that's why the word "required" is used.
Can you present any definitive documentation in support of that view?
What requirement does the note "BACK COURSE" on a LOC BC approach present?
"Radar required" is also a frequently found note. Do you think that if
the radar
is inop that day you can still shoot the approach because it was "just a

I think if the radar is inop that day I won't be cleared for any approach
that requires radar.
