Ever wondered what happens to your body at 35,000 feet? Here’s an aviation secret: Pilots are officially classified as radiation workers! The thin air at cruising altitude means we get exposed to 10-50x more cosmic radiation than you do on the ground. We’re talking up to 5 mSv a year for long-haul pilots—sometimes more than a nuclear power plant worker! But rest assured, it’s strictly monitored and completely safe. Next time you fly, just remember you’re soaking up a little extra cosmic energy. Drop your questions about the science of flying in the comments below, and let’s keep making aviation education accessible! . . . #aviation #pilotlife #radiation #aviationsecrets #avgeek
