6 hours ago6 hr Coming back to the INS drift simulation, I just completed a 9-hour flight from Sao Paulo to Lisbon. On purpose I did not perform any position update procedures during the whole flight. After parking on Position 801 in Lisbon, I performed the INS post-flight drift check by entering the parking spot in waypoint 1, activating track change 0 --> 1 and switching the INS Mode to DIS/TIME/Actual positionLPPT Stand 801 coordinates --> Track change 0 to 1.Distance offset for both INS 1 and 2 showing 0.0 nautical miles.As you can see, at least for INS's 1 and 2 the net INS Drift over 9 hours of operation was 0.0 nautical miles. Which clearly indicates the INS Drift is still not there. p.s. Yes, INS Drift was enabled. I also flew with a buddy who flew out of Rio to Lisbon. Same result. No INS Drift.
4 hours ago4 hr I'll test this again. I did a 5.5 hour flight yesterday, and I did a couple of inflight position updates. Landed with a 1.4nm position difference. HOWEVER, that could have been a data entry error on my part. (The "INSERT" light does not light up after entering a latitude in HOLD mode. I don't know if it should or not, but I think someone should double check, since it's the only mode I've seen where it doesn't)
