Silicon detectors such as Liulin and AIRDOS are used for cosmic radiation measurements onboard aircraft. These measurements can be used for the verification of computer programs assessing aircraft crew radiation exposure. Recently performed intercomparison flights showed large variances of absorbed doses among individual detectors and significant differences between results of silicon detectors and computer programs. In order to explain for these differences, we have developed energy calibration method that can be performed on short flights. The method is based on cross-calibration of Liulin and AIRDOS deposited energy spectra with deposited energy spectra measured by Timepix which has superior detection properties in terms of energy resolution and the detection threshold. Moreover, the portion of dose which is omitted due to low sensitivity for low-energy deposits was calculated. The resulting absorbed dose rates at two intercomparison flights show significantly improved variation of results and better agreement with modelled absorbed dose rates.
