Not sure what I am doing wrong here. OAT of -63C
Have temp target for the cabin set to 25C, but it stays at 16C
The avionics nose cooling blowers aren't turning on even when the instrument panel is showing 110CI have the pilot and co-pilot air valves off. Defrosters off.
Tried to post an image, but I couldn't

My guess is that the OAT is too cold, so the plane can't heat it to 25C, 16C is the best it can do. The nose coolers only cool the avionics bay, which is already pretty cold (13C), this is why they turned off. If you want to cool the instrument panel even further, turn on the alternate avionics blower.

Yeah, the instrument panel runs really hot. You’d think they would have found a way to pipe that hot air into the cabin/cockpit when needed. lol. I’m at FL340 over Alaska so it’s hard to be at any altitude where the plane will be able to warm the cabin/cockpit then.

Man, I missed that somehow. Thank you! Super helpful!

Have you tried setting the engine bleeds to high flow? I found out that at those altitudes it struggles to warm up the cabin, so setting the engine bleed to high worked for me, although it causes a very slight increase in fuel burn. So if you're stretching the legs and going for a max range run, you might not want to set it to high.
