Clear skies, temps normal, however we have noticed that our OAT has been reading incorrectly. It’s been showing incorrect temps, 10c+ degrees above normal at altitude.
Yesterday we flew at FL270 and the OAT was reflecting realistic temps, we noticed that our torques and fuel consumption were back to normal readings. Could that sensor cause these issues?
Another consideration is our prop stop switch, might the vibrations be related to that not working correctly?
The aircraft is going in for inspection, we’ve asked for the compressor to be checked and a hot section inspection as well.
Thanks
