Name	Dimension	Type	Description
Time	DateFormat	Real Number	Time.
Yaw	LongitudeUnit	Real Number	Yaw angle between the two sets of axes. Defines rotation about the z-axis of the reference set, which occurs in order defined by placement of its index (3) in selected sequence in YPR angles representation.
Pitch	LatitudeUnit	Real Number	Pitch angle between the two sets of axes. Defines rotation about the y-axis of the reference set, which occurs in order defined by placement of its index (2) in selected sequence in YPR angles representation.
Roll	AngleUnit	Real Number	Roll angle between the two sets of axes. Defines rotation about the x-axis of the reference set, which occurs in order defined by placement of its index (1) in selected sequence in YPR angles representation.
Bank	AngleUnit	Real Number	The dihedral angle between the flight path Z axis and the projection of the body Z axis into the flight path YZ plane, about the direction of flight. This is the first rotation in an Euler 1-2-3 sequence involving bank, angle of attack, then sideslip.
Heading	AngleUnit	Real Number	The dihedral angle between the north vector and the velocity vector about the detic nadir vector. The velocity vector is the velocity of the object as observed in the object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Angle Of Attack	AngleUnit	Real Number	The angle between the body X axis and the projection of the velocity vector onto the body XZ plane. The velocity vector is the velocity of the object as observed in the object's central body fixed coordinate system.
Sideslip	AngleUnit	Real Number	The angle between the flight direction and the symmetry plane (i.e., the Body XZ plane).
Flight Path Angle	AngleUnit	Real Number	The angle between the position and velocity vectors. The Calc Object allows a choice of coordinate systems. The default is Earth Centered Inertial.
Yaw Rate	AngleRateUnit	Real Number	The rate of change of yaw angle.
Pitch Rate	AngleRateUnit	Real Number	The rate of change of pitch angle.
Roll Rate	AngleRateUnit	Real Number	The rate of change of roll angle.
Bank Rate	AngleRateUnit	Real Number	The rate of change of bank angle.
Heading Rate	AngleRateUnit	Real Number	The rate of change of heading angle.
Angle Of Attack Rate	AngleRateUnit	Real Number	The rate of change of the angle of attack.
Sideslip Rate	AngleRateUnit	Real Number	The rate of change of sideslip angle.
Flight Path Angle Rate	AngleRateUnit	Real Number	The rate of change of flight path angle.
