How did commercial aircraft find their way around the globe before the GPS was introduced? What would happen to a modern aircraft if the GPS would just suddenly stop working?
In todays episode I will bring you through the different navigational systems that aircraft use and I will go into great detail about a system that I bet you have never heard about if you are not in the industry - the Inertial Reference System (IRS)
