I read in a recent post that the air coming in the standard naca inlets is 8 deg warmer than ambient. That post was in regard to placement of temp probe. My question is regarding cabin comfort. I fly in a hot climate (central ca) and wonder if the Vans vents are sufficient. I had not planned on overhead vents...would like to hear from Calif/Arizona folks.

The Van's are sufficient, but having an overhead vent isn't a bad idea. I almost always fly with my vent fully closed, mainly due to the fact that I fly high enough so the air outside is cold. I usually have it partially to fully open for takeoff and landing, but in cruise it is never all the way open.

I have the overhead console and generally use the overhead vents in cruise since the air velocity is a bit lower and I like the air on my face on hot days. Backseat passengers also seem to like the overhead vents. Front vents are the best when it's very hot outside but you can get some moisture through them (not that we have rain in Arizona). My console is fed air through two of Vans vents located on the sides just aft of the baggage bulkhead.

We're based in Livermore, no overhead console, no problems with temperatures in cruise. On the ground it can be warm. but then nothing less than air conditioning will help.

I installed the Aerosport Overhead Console with two additional NACA vents.  For me it is a must have.  I enjoy the air on my face and I also think the air is actually a bit cooler than the air out of the forward NACA vents.  St. Louis has hot summers and I use all of them during the summer until we get to altitude.
