All that will be left is a mangled frame and a watch.

I'm a former GCS technician for the Air Force and I can tell you that gps is pretty accurate, and a static air system can be more accurate. However, for your purposes a gps unit will be much more practical. While a pitot/static pressure system is the most accurate you can get for reading altitude, airspeed and vertical movement, the lines, probes and sensors in the plane that makes the reading of barometric inputs possible can't be duplicated in any small, handheld unit with the same level of accuracy. Thus, unless you want to get a plane and use its instruments, you're better off with a decent gps. Your iPhone will be ok for gee-whiz, but in desperate times realize it will be a few feet to a few hundred feet off, and you'll have no way to figure the error.
