Abstract: A Snagless Push Pole Holder is a device used for the storage of a boat push pole onboard the vessel when the push pole is not being used to propel the vessel. It will incorporate a design that prevents or minimizes the risk of fishing line, rope or net entanglement on the holder by eliminating all sharp edges, corners, overhangs, protrusions, hooks or similar obstructions, while still providing sufficient holding capability to secure a push pole. Additionally, it will incorporate a method for fastening it to a boat so that the mounting method does not create further points of potential entanglement. It will generally have a rounded, knob-like shape with a wider, tapered base that allows line, rope or netting to slip free of the holder when looped over or around it. Such a holder may also include an optional attached length of shock cord that can be used to further secure a stored push pole.

Abstract: A power situation indicator configured to provide power information in a rotorcraft is presented. The power situation indicator includes a detection unit configured to detect a current value of each of a plurality of control parameters, each of the plurality of control parameters including a pre-determined operating limit; a calculation unit configured to normalize on a common power scale (a) the current value and (b) the pre-determined operating limit of each of the plurality of control parameters, and a display unit configured to dynamically display on the common power scale a first moveable indicator and a second moveable indicator. The first moveable indicator is driven by one of the plurality of control parameters having the highest normalized current value and the second moveable indicator is driven by one of the plurality of control parameters having its normalized current value that is the closest to its corresponding normalized pre-determined operating limit.
