The SAAB AOM does state a limitation of 47 degrees C. During one insanely hot day in Sydney a few years ago the OAT actually peaked out at 47.6! The word from the Chief Pilot’s Office was, as long as it doesn’t hit 48, we were good to go. The rationale being, anything up to 47.9 is acceptable?
It seems you can delude yourself into believing anything if the circumstances dictate.
