(not quite flying blind, just another day at the office)

An American Airlines Airbus A319-100, registration N701UW performing flight AA-2275 from St. Louis,MO to Philadelphia,PA (USA) with 110 people on board, was descending through about 15,000 feet towards Philadelphia when the crew declared emergency reporting a couple of ADRs went out so that they were in alternate law, flight control situation, they were a little bit limited in navigation. When the controller queried whether they wanted "no gyro vectors" the crew declined and just requested headings for a final to runway 27L. The aircraft continued for a safe landing on runway 27L about 17 minutes later.

The aircraft remained on the ground in Philadelphia for about 17 hours before returning to service.
