Conversion from Total Air Temperature (TAT) to Static Air Temperature (SAT)
The difference between TAT and SAT is called ram rise (RR) and is caused by compressibility and friction of the air at high velocities.
<math>RRtotal=TAT-SAT</math>
where
<math>RRtotal=V^2/87^2</math>
V is the air speed in knot
