ABSTRACT:
A circuit for computing a signal representing the pitch attitude of an aircraft utilizes angle of attack based information and the output of a gyroscope to produce a calculated pitch signal which has a long term component dependent upon the angle of attack based information and a short term component dependent upon the gyroscope output signal. The calculated pitch signal may be used to pitch stabilize a head up display in the aircraft and in this event is modified with a correction signal derived from the pitch signal and the output of a head up display mounted accelerometer. Alternatively, the pitch signal may be combined with a signal representing the difference between the output of the display mounted accelerometer and the output of an angle of attack vane mounted accelerometer to provide a pitch stabilization signal which is free of turn and shear errors.
