TAT to SAT Conversion
 
I briefly looked around this forum on the subject, but I failed to find anything. I am currently working on some performance charts for the 135 outfit I fly Citations for and I am having a difficult time finding any easy to use formula for converting TAT to SAT for climb performance. I've spent a few hours searching for it using various media, but have been at a loss. Any input will help, a simple chart or anything would be of great use.

Some good info there, such as:


Another rule of thumb that we used was
TAT= SAT + (TAS/100)^2.
It works pretty well for approximation.

True enough, an approximation. If you want the exact figure with Knots TAS as the entry variable -

TAT= SAT + (TAS/87.1)^2, which is exact :ok:

Or, if your entry variable is Mach Number -

TAT= SAT + (1+.2*M^2), which is also exact :ok:

Prop operators may prefer the former, jet jockeys the latter.

TAT=SAT+IAS/100^3
is another WAG.

Use whichever Cessna uses which is probably RAT or TAT, no need for converting them.
