Solar Storms and Cosmic Radiation Strain Aircraft Maintenance
Original: How Solar Storms and Cosmic Radiation Impact Aircraft Maintenance Operations
A new report examines how solar storms and cosmic radiation affect aircraft maintenance operations. High-altitude flights are exposed to elevated radiation levels that can degrade avionics, disturb communications and GPS, and force route or altitude changes during geomagnetic events. Airlines and maintenance crews are said to need monitoring procedures and inspection routines to manage these risks, as solar activity rises with the current solar cycle.
Why now: Interest in aviation safety risks from space weather is growing as the sun approaches the peak of its activity cycle.
