An electric temperature control system for unpressurized aircraft and methods for operating are disclosed. The electric temperature control system may be electrically powered and used on all-electric aircraft or hybrid aircraft. The electric temperature control system may comprise a vapor cycle cooling system for cooling air and an electric heater for heating air. The electric heater may be a PTC electric heater with individually-controllable heating elements. Various input devices may be disposed in the aircraft allowing an operator to set a compartment temperature, an air source, and a fan speed. A controller controls operations of the electric temperature control system based on feedback received from a plurality of feedback devices and the operator inputs.
