An ADIRU/ADIRS operates and is in use during the whole flight, even on the ground. But it is for me also remarkable that the FMC/Digital Flight Control Systems only use (or prioritize) these two gyroscopes above the other two and normally the DFCS also use inputs from other systems like the pitot tube, static pressure ports and AoA.


|"The country's air force had grounded its entire F-16 fleet in the wake of the crash, which occurred on May 8th, suspending all training. Having inspected its fleet, including each gyroscope one by one, the RSAF resumed F-16 flights on May 21st.

the crash - the first involving an RSAF F-16 in over 20 years - "|

Taking such problems serious and having a good maintenance system results in very low rate of accidents and crashes of the years. I mean, they have around 60 F-16s in their fleet, if i am not wrong.
