That just means you can't use autoland in low visibility conditions. Modern IRUs (inertial reference unit) are highly accurate laser gyros that can use GPS for correction, but will throw out the data if it doesn't make sense. Navigation won't be affected much, and autoland (if used) will still rely on VHF guidance.

Water you talking about. We had to bail you out last week after you kept mixing up sailboats with yachts!
I see people talking about upvoting Technology Connections, I upvote.
His dishwasher video changed my life.
That exact model was $599 in October. I would know, because I bought one.
It's actually a really great smoker, but the app is terrible.
We may have the same employer.
In addition to switching companies, my employer is also bragging about a new health plan with $0 monthly cost to the employee, while being completely silent on that new plan covering absolutely nothing aside from virtual appointments through an app sponsored by the insurance company.
I've been playing solo all weekend. Still lots of fun. I want friends to play with, but it's absolutely enjoyable solo.
IF YOU DON'T ROCK AND STONE, YOU DON'T GO HOME!
We don't go to Ravenholm.
YouTube compresses the video as soon as it's uploaded, so it's unlikely you can obtain any sort of lossless download. You may be able to get a .wav or similar download of a video's audio track, but there will still be compression losses from the YouTube side.
Yes. Most of commercial navigation systems rely on the IRUs as a primary source of position data, and they'll usually have 3 of them. VHF is used by the crew to confirm that the aircraft is on track by referencing VOR stations, though these are slowly being phased out due to GPS.
That being said, a single traditional IRU can have up to 2km of drift over a 2 hr flight (at which point it's removed from service and replaced). When used in combination with two other IRUs, the error is dramatically reduced. Traditional IRUs are gyroscopically mechanical in nature and do not talk to GPS.
Now, that being said, the new standard is called an ADIRU (ADvanced IRU), which ties in with GPS and features laser gyros. They're extremely accurate and have essentially zero drift, plus multiple redundant components within each unit.
