Solarflares

Dear VC Members,

Since we as pilots are largely cut off from information about increased solar activity during flight, you can sign up here for the Radiation Protection Newsletter.

If you no longer wish to use the service, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter here:

We can use this to inform you at short notice of current solar activity warnings from NOAA.

It might be a good idea to use an email address that you also check shortly before going on duty (i.e. an address you check on your smartphone or alternatively the crew mail address).

The newsletter will contain the following information: 

  • Date on which the warning was issued
  • Duration of the warning
  • Classification of the warning (as well as brief explanation of warning levels).
  • Recommendations for action (i.e. fly lower and if possible at lower latitudes)

We hope to be able to provide you with helpful information.
Your AG Radiation Protection
