The problem with that is if you turn off power to the aircraft then the IMU no longer maintains state and you will need to realign it on startup. The procedures for this are broadl…

They're falling back to the C/A (coarse, civilian) signal. Part of the attack is to drown out the frequency where the P (fine, military) signal is so they can more easily attack th…
