Not exactly skin temperature, just the maximum temperature on the nose. The rest of the aircraft was cooler.
Indeed, but as a pilot you look after the nose temp... and the rest of the aeroplane will be just fine.

So TAT is skin temp at the probes, which are rearward of the hottest skin according to that diagram. Was there a 'compensation' built into the TAT readout to account for the relatively rearward position of the TAT probes?

And.. How was static temp readout derived?

Sorry to keep asking, but I really want to understand this!

Thanks.
