Inputs and outputs are vectors in the cartesian earth fixed coordinate system.
That is the one with the origin in the earths center the x axis towards
lat=lon=0 the y axis towards asia and te z axis towards the north pole.
The ground queries from within FGInterface are only valid when you set up a
small query cache using the prepare_ground_cache function. Then you can ask
that cache for agl values from within that sphere you used in the prepare
call.
