Subject: OAT gauge sensor
Does anyone have a view about the most appropriate location for an OAT gauge
sensor?
There is a need to avoid - engine bay heat; exhaust heat; and wind chill.
Many thanks, and a Happy New Year with lots of good flying to you all.

David,
Happy New Year to you as well!
Perhaps engine bay heat and exhaust heat are best avoided for
the OAT sensor, but I don't trhink there's any wind chill effect to worry
about. If it's the windchill the TV weather moguls chat about, that has an
effect only on humans and is a measure of heat loss from exposed skin. If
anything methinks there is a temperature rise due to the motion of molecules
impinging on the sensor. That can have as much as 25C degrees rise on
subsonic sensors, buit no much on our speed range.
I'll join you inbeing interested on opinion for placement on the
Europa............
