Contexto
Air traffic control units should be prepared for the possibility that supersonic aircraft operating at levels above 15 000 m (49 000 ft) may, on rare occasions, experience a rise in solar cosmic radiation which requires them to descend to lower levels, possibly down to or below the levels being used by subsonic aircraft. When such a situation is known or suspected, air traffic control units should take all possible action to safeguard all aircraft concerned, including any subsonic aircraft affected by the descent.
