The old RAAF C130 Hercules aircraft had a port in the roof for an astrolabe type device to be inserted if the nav aids all failed. There was a star chart in the pocket at the rear of the flight deck. Somehow I can't image too many people have the time and patience to make the calculations if the aircraft is in such bad shape that ALL the nav instruments are down!!
