3Hello, where do you take this limit from? Could you be misled by the limits related to magnetic heading computation area? – Joël Mar 28 '23 at 12:47

1I am retired and no longer have access to the aircraft manuals, but I believe the B777 is not certified to fly over the True North Pole. – Mike Sowsun Mar 29 '23 at 02:42

You don't get a valid heading and track angle. Each ADIRU model has different characteristics and limitation. This is an example from an FCOM that I have:
Special flights can fly in these conditions, but they don't use magnetic headings (see this question).
