Google for "quaternion to euler angles".

If you are manipulating the object through those angles, yes. I
believe aircrafts should be manipulated through forces applied in
special places, not by setting angles.

Also, related to the "quaternion to euler angles" conversion, make
sure to read the discussions about the special cases.
