Thanks for the professional answer. You have a knack for keeping it in "farmer simple" language which is my level of comprehension. We don't have many Pratt equipped MD-11s so we lose our ground school level knowledge on them pretty fast. I knew where the engine inlet probes were located but did not know the relationship of the temp probe and EEC. Is the T AMB port the static port on the left side of the cowling?
