An attitude display system for use in an aircraft has at least one display unit visible by a pilot within a cockpit. A symbology generator is configured for receiving input from at least one attitude sensor and generating symbology image data representative of a pear-shaped attitude indicator, distorted vertically to represent a pitch of the aircraft and rotated to represent a roll angle of the aircraft. The symbology generator may further be configured for adding a horizontal line that represents a horizon, a regular trapezoid representing a downward gravity vector at a base of the trapezoid, a pitch angle of the aircraft, split wings representing an angle of attack of the aircraft, and a stall warning in a sawtooth crack shape. A tail portion of a T-shape with the curved top edge is itself curved in a direction opposite that of an aircraft spin direction.
