Unless you have some real proof, I'm going to stick with the assumption that the GPSOne chip is capable of full standalone mode. Per one of Qualcomm's releases on the GPSOne chip:

The aGPS functions of the GPSOne chip are there purely as an enhancement to the standalone GPS. Using aGPS the phone can get a lock indoors and in other locations where location based services wouldn't normally be available.

I suppose it is possible that flight mode does not disable aGPS, but I can't think of any reason why it wouldn't. Either way, the chip should still function without assistance from the cell networks.
