Abstract
In this study, due to the importance of calibration in accurate dose measurement, we performed this process accurately and displayed the method and results in various diagrams. Also, using thermoluminescence dosimeters, gamma and neutron beams were measured. According to these results, the amount of gamma ray is 21 and the amount of neutron is 3 µSv/h per hour for flying in foreign routes and also for domestic routes, the amount of gamma ray is 2 and the neutron value is 0.1 µSv/h. It should be noted that all flight paths were done randomly at different altitudes.
