When running AVL, the program outputs derivative values, however I have not been able to find documentation on whether the derivatives are dimensional, or dimensionless based on the *.AVL input file.

Hi, I used AVL in Flight mechanics lectures. It took me a long time to understand the dimensions of derivatives.
The derivations according to angular velocity are dimensionless, angular rates are defined: pb/2V, qc/2V, rb/2V
What's really strange? I used default units and this is the result:
The derivatives according to alfa and beta are in 1/rad!
The derivatives according to control surface deflections are in 1/deg!
Do you have the same experience?
