Outside Air Temperature Sensor

[RonM2OC]

An clue where the Outside Air Temperature Sensor might be on a 1975 Mooney M20C ?

Our electrical guage in the panel is reading about 50 degree to warm.

It could be anywhere. My 70-model has the OAT sensor mounted in the copilot's air vent at the rear of the cowling. Either scoop would be easy to access from the panel. Some people mount them on an inspection panel under the wing. The stock OAT pokes out through the windshield . . . if yours isn't there, just crawl around and look for the probe. Mine's ~1½" long, a little fatter than a pencil, and looks like a steel pin.

Happy hunting!
