The possible effect of cosmic ray induce radiation dose on airplane crews is a subject of current study in a number of countries. The amount of radiation dose received by aircrews due to cosmic radiation is a function of (1) altitude above the surface of the earth, (2) the geomagnetic cutoff rigidity, and (3) the solar activity cycle. Of these three factors, the cosmic radiation change with altitude has the largest variability. This paper discusses the variables controlling the cosmic ray flux in the atmosphere and describes models and software that have been developed to provide quantitative information about the cosmic radiation exposure at flight altitudes.
