Filing Flight Plan
Since I don't fly/maintain/design Cessna Citations or their engines, we can file this question as merely a technical curiousity on my part...
Part of the design of the P&W JT15D engine (and maybe some or all others) is a temp sensor that measures the incoming air temp. I understand that this sensor is protected from icing using bleed air from the compressor...
Ummmm, what?
I guess my question is this... how does this work? If you are trying to measure free air temp, how do you do it with a heated temp probe? Anyone have any insight into this?
Inquiring minds want to know!
