In aircraft terms, the instantaneous pitch and roll are it's attitude.

What about using a Maemo 5 device as a pilot's companion, named 'Airman', in the spirit of 'Carman'? You could have the artificial horizon, altimeter and airspeed. The last two are fed by the GPS.

It could at least serve as a backup for the main gauges. The 'Airman' application could also store things like flight manuals, maps, and checklists as part of an EFB (electronic flight bag). Obviously more of a novelty item, as opposed to something you would solely rely upon in the cockpit. And sorry for taking this thread off-topic...

I had thought that enriching the display with GPS information (speed, height etc.) would be good. Having the speed available should also give you some kind of feeling of movement on the display too (things flying by, perhaps dust like Elite).
I do like Attitude as a name (some of Texrat's suggestions too, but perhaps not "Floater").
Tonight I'll try integrating lardman's wiimote provider, fix the Python dependencies to be more explicit and rename it.

BTW, I think I should test this in a real plane; and use it as a cockpit backup. Anyone want to buy me a plane and/or flying lessons?
