Hello guys,

 

I need you assistance for understand these words: Pole track

You can read these words here at page 102 about the "Pole track with reference bar."

 

Please can you tell me if it's a good word "pole" because in this draw I can read post:

In advance a great thanks, Skull.

The word in Swedish is "stolpbana", where bana means track, path or trajectory and stolp(e) is a pole (as in flagpole, not as in the North Pole), post (as in fencepost or goalpost) or stake. Both pole track and post track are okay translations but I think pole track has less potential for confusion.

 

edit: I may have misunderstood what you're asking about. The pole track consists of the pair of three vertical lines (short line near the center, longer line a bit further out and longest line to the furthest out) on both sides of the gap in the center of the artificial horizon. Imagine that those vertical lines are fenceposts standing on the ground, forming a track stretching away in front of you. To maintain the correct altitude for your programmed waypoint or selected weapon, align the aircraft with the top of the poles - that is, make the top of the vertical lines touch the artificial horizon.

As a child of the Swedish countryside, I'm picturing them as these things
