## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

ACCORDING TO THE PILOT, HE DECIDED TO ABORT TAKEOFF. THERE WAS A DISCREPANCY ON ACTUAL OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE.  THIS WAS IMPERATIVE, BECAUSE OF CALCULATION ON THE TORQUE SETTING ON THE ENGINES.  (TEMPERATURE AND THE AMOUNT OF WEIGHT ON HTE AIRCRAFT DETERMINED THE TORQUE SETTING).  ACTUAL TEMPERATURE WAS ACHIEVED AND TORQUE WAS SET PROPERLY.  AIRCRAFT PROCEEDED TO NEXT DESTINATION.  THERE IS NO CORRECTIVE ACTION PLANNED AT THIS TIME.  THIS IS DUE TO THE PILOT RECIEVING TWO DIFFERENT TEMPERATURE READINGS AND OPTING NOT TO FLY AIRCRAFT UNTIL CORRECT TEMPERATURE READING WAS GIVEN.

From the FAA Accident/Incident Data System. Reports are matched to registry aircraft by N-number and event date, checked against the reported make and model; the registry's history has gaps, so older matches can be wrong. Compare the reported make and model. For accidents, the NTSB's own investigation is the fuller record.
