The last time I asked, the battery in a Beechjet was over
$5,000. If I remember the limit, the maximum starting
temperature is 40 degrees C/104 F, which is a cool day in
the summer in Phoenix.

$5K??? Ouch...

(Note To Self: BeechJet ... No...)

104F ambient can translate into well above 120-130F in enclosed spaces.

I always felt bad for my CFI(s) who were not allowed to wear shorts...
