English Dictionary

cone of confusion

名詞

(aviation) A zone of indeterminism over a navigation beacon (such as a VOR), where the direction-finding ability of the receiver outputs a random direction as flying over the beacon results in no direction to the beacon, giving a spinning direction indicator display. Also refers to flying over a magnetic pole, and its effects on a magnetic compass.

日本語の意味

航空において、ナビゲーションビーコン（例：VOR）周辺で、受信機が正しく方向を示さず、ランダムな方向が出力される不確定なゾーン。 / 磁極上空を飛行した場合に、磁気コンパスが正しく機能しなくなる現象としても言及される。

When the aircraft flies directly over a VOR, the bearing indicator can spin as it passes through the cone of confusion, leaving pilots without a reliable radial until they move clear of the beacon.

航空機がVORの真上を通過すると、方位指示器は方位不定領域を通過する際に回転してしまい、パイロットはビーコンから離れるまで信頼できるラジアルを得られないことがある。
