Claim Text:
1. A method for the calculation of flight paths taking into consideration events of relevance for the radiation dose, comprising the following steps: a) collection of radiation data of the atmospheric radiation from measurement stations located on the ground, installed in aircrafts and/or installed in satellites, b) examination of the radiation data and conclusion about an event of relevance for the radiation dose that generates a temporary increase in exposure, c) creation of a model using the radiation data, the model containing at least one estimate of the spatial location of a region with a radiation intensity increased by the event of relevance for the radiation dose, d) determination of flight-relevant parameters, e) calculation of a possible flight path in view of the flight-relevant parameters taking into consideration the model created in step c), the flight path being determined on the basis of a reduction of an exposure to radiation in relation to another flight path prior to flight or in relation to an existing flight path if the aircraft already is in flight, and f) providing the possible flight path for selection.
