Well, nothing too bad with that, actually. It works, doesn't it?

I assume newer aircrafts will get an update and use a more modern medium though.

It's more amusing than an actual problem, although presumably floppies have a lifetime and I doubt anybody is producing more of them now.

Amazingly there are places that still produce them to support legacy systems. Prices can be pretty wild.
