Abstract

An apparatus, method and computer program product useful for supplying the pilot of an aircraft with aircraft attitude information in the event of full or partial failure of the gyroscopic system normally used to supply such data. The pitch angle, roll angle and heading angle estimates provided by the apparatus, method and computer program product can be displayed to the pilot thereby alleviating the requirement that the pilot mentally integrate such data from the remaining aircraft instruments.
