So - it was a 777? Wat about an ATR? An Embraer? A TU. Lets take a 737 Classic - 2xFMC fail - out with the paper stuff. No waypoints, no present position, no 'navigation', no perfomance data. You will have a lat and long position on the INS panel so you'll know where you've been. .All maneagble, however, of course. 777 a bit smarter.

may have confused FMS with CDU
- no - the question was about the FM Compouter, nor the FM System. I never even considered an FMS.failure - the FMC is just one part of the FMS
