Static Air Temperature (SAT) – This is the temperature of the undisturbed air around the aircraft; also referred to as outside air temperature (OAT). Total air temperature is important when monitoring fuel temperatures on long flights (fuel tank temps tend to approach TAT). How is the temperature data used?

More air molecules in engine cylinders allow the engine to produce more power; more air molecules moving across the propellor blades and wings means more efficient thrust and lift. The approach and taxi are time compressed; the landing is normal speed. When we reached the OATES intersection, I pointed the Six toward Winslow.
