I flew this aircraft at night. I do not believe the OAT exceeded 86 degrees. To memory; I have only flown this aircraft at night which leads me to believe I did not violate the temperature exceedence for flying with snow baffles. I brought up the issue with base supervisors and was told they kept the snow baffles on to prevent bird strike or other FOD into the compressor.
A B206 helicopter may have flown with the snow baffles installed during early summer months causing a temperature exceedence.
