Default *********A DEFENCE FOR MXMORAN***********

Your statement was obvious nonsense from looking at the picture of
a real airplane.


Afraid MX is correct on this one. The overhead panel on 737's and
747's handle the IRS's (Inertial Referencing System, these are like
GPS),


Some of us appear to have a very abbreviated sense of what is "right"
To posit that an airliner's Inertial Navigation System is "kinda like
GPS" is akin to stating that the aileron controls work like a steering
wheel! Neither approximation will get the ship safely to port.

Yours is a dangerous and irresponsible contribution.
