Sixteen route sectors, which include flight above 15 000 m (49 000 ft), shall be sampled every quarter (three months). Where less than sixteen route sectors which include flight above 15 000 m (49 000 ft) are achieved each quarter, then all sectors above 15 000 m (49 000 ft) shall be sampled. The cosmic radiation recorded should include both the neutron and non-neutron components of the radiation The results of the sampling, including a cumulative summary quarter on quarter, should be reported to the Authority under arrangements acceptable to the Authority.
