My question is: How close to the OAT reading do you think the inlet air indication might be? My OAT is in the right wing root on the underside of the leading edge. An OAT would likely be installed in the NACA inlet to the air cleaner. I think the ram pressure might make an insignificant difference in the readings but don't know. Does anyone out there have an LIVP with both? Can you please tell me if there is any difference in the readings? If icing is what we're looking for will there be any disadvantage to omitting the inlet probe? Thanks in advance, Walter Dodson IV-P 95% and moving (with wide load permits) to Tehachapi Airport on Sunday, September first very early in the am.
