funny how the yanks manage---

most flights in and out of fairbanks are by yanks, whose ATP exam, funnily enough, does not consist of 14 separate exams-primarily designed to pay for the BMW's of the school administrators and test creators.

"from high to low, look out below"

one then assumes that the pilot should be able to discern whether the "low" is pressure or temperature.

pilot's memory should serve well enough to remember the last walk around and whether the big coat was required or not---

if coat was required--then cold temp is the factor.

reach for handy chart and convert--

really not rocket science like some are trying to make it appear.

and i've seen in -45 there. and when you are that far down the scale, it doesn't really matter which scale you are using--C or F.
