>>The clocks in your house are not as accurate as clocks used for global positioning, which can locate a plane to within +/- 2 inches based on the amount of time it takes for a radiofrequency wave to travel from a GPS satellite to the GPS receiver on board the aircraft.<<
GPS is not linked to the in-flight recorders.
Oh, and BTW, the 2-3" accuracy, we wish! That would make JDAM and other weapon systems a heck of a lot more accurate than they already are.
