It's simply impossible.
Another lie, this time (apparently) passed on directly from the "head honcho" of PfffT himself.
I wrote up a step-by-step explanation in THIS post.
See, "ROB", (or, "RtB"...or, just "RB")....I could sit you down and teach you how in just a little bit of time...in a classroom, with the proper illustrations, pictures....better yet, with an FTD, or even in the simulator (though, rather expensive to chew up the rental time just sitting there)....heck, I bet I could even teach Rob Balsamo!! I hear he's not totally incapable of understanding....only when it comes to some things......
...adding a "Reply to" for nexus:

Wonder why,,??
Actually, no I don't..
It's the questions they can't answer..
Since you're so freaking smart and knowledgeable about this subject, please post the ECAS parameter ERROR MESSAGE from the FDR data that shows that the IRU was not aligned prior to Take-Off.
Thanks

So what the hell are you talking about.??
Sooooooo, it was not very accurate ON THE GROUND, was it? Does this mean it wasn't aligned as B00b Balsamo has told you via one of his dozens of socks?
I'll answer no further questions until you post the FDR data that shows the system was not aligned. It's entirely OK if you don't want to provide that. Then you'll be all alone again to continue with your BIG TALK.

I've been to sites where they bag P4T and even Warren what's his name posts there..
They agree the plane could not accurately re-align in flight..
They agree it was an early line plane that was not fitted with GPS..
So any error at the start would be reasonably constant..
Tell me different, I'm all ears...
I will entertain polite and respectful questions. I will not entertain insults from "know nothings". Your call.
But, simply operating in a normal terminal, or en-route environment, the IRS accuracy...as long as it didn't get REALLY, REALLY off, would vary up to two miles, and still be "acceptable".

So this statement from Weedwhacker,
But, simply operating in a normal terminal, or en-route environment, the IRS accuracy...as long as it didn't get REALLY, REALLY off, would vary up to two miles, and still be "acceptable".
Do you disagree with him that a 2 mile variation, even "en-route" is normal and acceptable.??
Does 2 nm on a 9 mile wide highway seem like too much?

Weed's words.....

And yet in another thread were you not arguing that this same FDR data was so accurate as to show the PRECISE position of flight 77 prior to impacting the Pentagon.?
It was SO accurate that it clearly showed how the plane impacted the light poles..
It was SO accurate that it disproved the other flight path stated by many witnesses..
Flight 77 did not have a GPS system so what suddenly gave the data that accuracy you now say may be off by up to two miles.????
The person you should be abusing is B00b Balsamo who comes here under one of his dozens of socks to spread his misleading and frequently fraudulent BS. For example, this thread.....

No, but have you read all my posts??
I'm not really disagreeing with the inaccuracy of the planes position...
Here's another post of mine..
Care to answer it??

What they are not telling you is that the IRU and related system, not only provides Navigation, but also, attitude and heading information to the pilots. The computers do not know the weather conditions and that stuff is crucial to safety of flight. If the system was not aligned and out of tolerance there would be an ECAS message that would also be recorded in the FDR. Where is it?
B00b and his merry band of frauds want you to believe it realigned in-flight and that it was a military aircraft. Even military aircraft take a considerable amount of time to realigned if they are capable. (not all are)
The graph displayed earlier at the top of this page shows the system was virtually aligned with the radar plots by the top of the climb. That is known as UPDATES (not alignment). It must update via either VOR/DME, DME/DME, or in the case of later aircraft GPS. The system became more accurate starting at the beginning of the take-off roll and as it continued to receive updates during flight. The data indicates it was receiving updates properly, not that it initiated a realignment.
