Ironically, I recall reading about a mid-flight incident where the procedure to bring things back involved turning the entire plane off and on again.

(I.e. somewhere I read that the A380 is a quite good glider, among other reasons since the wings were designed for larger versions; an F-16 however won't really glide) In a critical situation this is impossible, though.

I have heard about just flying with no G-load for a while and getting some basic instruments working. But I dont think you will get full nav functionality back.
