I have a couple of questions that might look dumb. I know the A/C get it’s position from GPS,IRS,RADIO and FMS. Does the FMC generates the LNAV route/airway based on it’s position calculation?


Also if FMS position is not accurate for any reason (with regard to ATC) and there is a big position shift. Does this mean the aircraft will fly to next way point at a wrong geographical location as well (thinking it is the correct location lat/long)?
