Radiation affects from solar flares have caused problem with long range digital communications and other non-shielded computer circuits. I would think that on a "Flare" day a pilot would want to keep the bird closer to home, just in case.

If there was anything to this common myth, you would see hundreds of incidents whenever the K-index is high.
With well over a million users out there, there have been a huge number flown at all levels of K-index but there still has not been an incident that can be attributed to solar activity.
