In other words, current accelerometers do not indicate > angle with the earth either. A 3-axis acc. will indicate vertical if it runs an algoruthm that calculates the magnitude of the g vector. When g is off nominal g by 0.5% or more then the readout goes invalid. This indicates vertical to 0.3 degrees or so.
