8759. Which of the following statements concerning the loss of alignment by an

Inertial Reference System (IRS) in flight is correct?

A – It is not usable in any mode and must be shut down for the rest of the
flight
B – The IRS has to be coupled to the remaining serviceable system and a

NAV in order to obtain an in-flight realignment
