I could be wrong, but I don't think the JPI OAT probe is STCed as a

That would be hillarious. A ****ty company to start with and then the
probe isn't a legal replacement. Reason #4650 to go with EI.


I've never read the EI STC so I could be wrong, but I wouldn't be surprised
if the same situation exists with EI.

There are a lot more hoops to jump through in order to STC something as a
replacement (as opposed to being supplimental) for something specified in
the aircrafts type certificate. For something as trivial as an OAT probe,
I could understand a manufacturer not bothering.
