Yes, I know I should not completely depend on it for my analysis, but...

What are these numbers telling me? Are the phugoid frequencies and damping factor acceptable?

This is the lateral mode results.

In case you can't read the screen capture (not sure I did it right), F=0.370 Hz, F1=0.377, and damping ratio = 0.188
