The JAA expect you to use

LSS = 38.94 time the square root of the Absolute Temperature.

And

Mach No = TAS / LSS

So working backwards

LSS = TAS / Mach = 499 / .84 = 594.047619

Dividing by 38.94 give Square root of absolute temp = 15.25546017

Squaring this gives absolute temp = 232.729065

subtracting 273 gives -40.27093497 degrees C
