Can I use PCAire to predict the dose I will get?

It is possible to enter a flight in the future and get an estimate of the dose that you would get. However, the cosmic radiation intensity in the atmosphere changes continuously, and the dose you would eventually receive could be quite different from the estimate.

PCAire takes into account the variations of the cosmic radiation caused by the solar cycle. At the end of each month, we obtain the latest measurements of the solar activity and update our database. It is almost impossible to accurately predict what the solar activity will be six months from now. For this reason, any estimate of the dose received on a future flight may be inaccurate. The best results are obtained when you wait one month before entering a flight into PCAire.
