Re: Why did it need a patch for a fundamental operation?

"Something as fundamental as the position of the aircraft has to be validated against *SOMETHING*."

There's probably a good reason, but why does the pilot need to enter it manually if they have GPS? If it's for validation, then why not just verify it instead of entering it?

Just curious :)
