OK: is this horse dead yet??

When I am flying and it is 32C ambient air temperature, I can look at my
little yellow gizzy from AOPA and see approximately how hot it is (darn) in
Fahrenheit, or use a rule-of-thumb conversion of some caliber. Do I usually
need to know EXACTLY? No. I am cruising, showing 152 knots on my GPS. Do I
usually need to know EXACTLY what that converts to (fast) in MPH? No. If I
need to know EXACTLY, I will use the formulas I learned in high school
chemistry class and navigation class, which have been discussed here. If I
just need to know "about" how hot, cold or fast it is, which is usually the
case, I use a fast and SIMPLE rule of thumb.

NOW: let's talk ENGINES around here.....................

O-O-O-O- "--lets talk about engines around here ".

Engines work with absolute temperatures. This opens up a whole new
conversion conversation, which I am going to avoid in this forum.

Please do not archive!

Youse guys are acting like a bunch of grade school kids.

I have a nice conversion chart in my wallet, and one in my flying machine,
takes about 5 seconds to convert either way...All the stuff you are
proposing, requires too much brain power for me, however, I enjoyed reading
all the different methods........CHEERS!!!!
