The probe is also electrically heated, and the heat is switched on just after engine start. On stand, the heat is switched off, the number will be representative of the OAT. When the heat is applied and combined with low forward speed, the heat cannot be dissipated and builds up in the probe which then gives a reading of up to max +99C. Once airborne it will quickly return to normal.
