Abstract:
The aim of this study is to calculate total cruising route effective doses using three commonly used algorithm codes CARI-6, EPCARD and SIEVERT. Further, the impact of flight cruising duration, altitude and latitude on the estimated effective doses will also be investigated. A total of 24 commercial UAE flight data were collected and retrospectively analysed. CARI-6, EPCARD and SIEVERT codes were used to estimate the total route effective doses per single trip of different destinations including USA, Europe, South Africa, Asia and Australia. Aircraft crew effective doses were shown to significantly increase with flying altitude. A strong significant correlation (0.6469; p < 0.05) was obtained between flight duration and the estimated effective doses, while a moderate insignificant correlation (0.3899; p > 0.05) was obtained with flying altitude for all 24 flights using CARI-6. For flights with the same latitude and duration, all codes gave total effective doses within experimental uncertainties.
