What is the highest ambient temperature allowed for ground operations?

The highest ambient temperature allowed for ground operations in the T-6A is 43 degrees Celsius. This limit is set to ensure the safety and functionality of the aircraft's systems and components during ground operations. Operating at temperatures above this threshold can lead to increased wear on materials and systems, potential overheating, and decreased aircraft performance, which can jeopardize safety and mission effectiveness.

Maintaining operations within this limit allows for proper engine cooling, hydraulic system functionality, and overall avionics operation. Exceeding this temperature could strain the aircraft beyond its designed limits, leading to possible malfunctions or damage. Therefore, understanding and adhering to this temperature limitation is crucial for pilots and ground crew involved in T-6A operations.
