Bet carnivore is online.
This is an early 1980s -vintage Honeywell Primus system... and interestingly (in light of the thread topic) one which doesn't even HAVE an FMS. No IRU's either - it's using old school mechanical C14 and VG14 remote directional and vertical gyros - which are not even digital - they use analog Sine/Cosine AC signals to provide heading and attitude reference to the symbol generators.

There is NO point of entry in this system for outside control - none whatsoever.
