GPS is just part of IRS (embedded), many options available without GPS. Radio Nav (VOR/ILS), ADF, TACAN (for military), also DME available. Again, for aviation, GPS is just optional
Really? Celestial navigation? If you lose GPS your fine for hours with the IRSs and even better if you have rad navs nearby. The problem is not losing GPS but having wrong GPS indications, that is what can complicate things as it will corrupt the FMGC position calculation. You'd have to deselect GPS and probably update your position with a known nearby rad nav. What NOBODY would do is celestial navigation 😂
Hello! This is only a demonstration of methods that are available. Human instincts are also a factor that needs to be taken into account. A good example is the Varig Flight 254 when passengers tried to say to the cabin crew that the sun should not be in the position that it was and the pilots actually had made a fatal mistake. This is celestial navigation. Check it out for example here: ua-cam.com/video/1oOLQjzPOFA/v-deo.html
