The issue of GPS for attitude information usually comes up after an accident. While GPS is good, it isn't good enough to be used as an accurate source of attitude information.

GPS with IRU's mounted at 2 to 4 (nose and wing tip or all 4 points) points could be a great source of attitude information. When I say IRU I mean RLG and accelerometer updated by GPS, could be very accurate.
