I have a Sierra 2000 system in our IV-P and Kirk suggested the inlet air
temp might be less than usfull.  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,
