If you're traveling at high speeds and relying on this timing to adjust flight control surfaces, or trying to use radar to get position of combatants and/or the ground, a few microseconds clock skew would be a major issue.
- engi_nerd 11y agoI didn't say clock skew. I said drift. As in, you lose GPS timing signals so your own internal master clock freewheels. That has nothing to do with clock skew (different components within the jet 'seeing' different time due to delays or other issues). The jets are designed to function with degraded or no GPS functionality. But, if it's there, they will take full advantage of it.
