Advanced helicopter flight model MUST be enabled for this function to work, otherwise it returns an empty array.
Returns a 3x3 two-dimensional array. In the editor while climbing in a little bird, it returned this:

```sqf
[[0.3993577, 11.72865, -30.21434], [0.3053164, 11.17272, -30.17695], [94.33984, 51.3513, -40.4908]]
```
