Flyboyike------not putting in gate co ordinaries any more??? We do and always have done since the 70's.....
We are talking about the actual IRS/INS aren't we?? The IRS/INS to my knowledge isn't updated on takeoff, only the FMC/FMGEC position. I would have thought you would still want the basic IRS/INS to be aligned with the most accurate position pre flight should they be relied apon for Nav in a redundancy situation later on.......
Info on gate Lat/Lon is readily available on Jepp or Navtech or other charts. At most Airports I fly from its displayed on the gate number sign 50' in front of your cockpit window!!
