what error ?  it's a lot easier to help if you include the traceback.

should be ?  have you verified this ?  try adding

     print self.ACphi, type(self.ACphi)
     value = XPLMGetDataf(self.ACphi)
     print value, type(value)

before the cos_phi line, and let us know what it prints.

not necessarily, but you may need to work a little on your trouble- 
shooting skills (rule 1: when in doubt, use print.  print is your friend).
