SF340 CITES 30 MIN OLD ATIS FOR HIGHER THAN NORMAL ENG INDICATIONS ON TKOF AT PSP.

Narrative

DURING TKOF ROLL I NOTED R-HAND ENG ABOVE EXPECTED INTERNAL TURBINE TEMP. WE ABORTED; CONTACTED COMPANY DISPATCHER; MAINT CTL AND PSP GND CTL. IT WAS SOON DISCOVERED THAT THE REASON FOR THE HIGH INTERNAL TURBINE TEMP WAS DUE TO US BASING OUR PERFORMANCE CALCULATIONS ON THE 30 MIN OLD ATIS TEMP; WHEN CURRENT ACTUAL TEMP WAS 3 DEGS HIGHER. MAINT CTL REVIEWED ALL DATA AND DETERMINED THAT WE HAD NOT EXCEEDED ANY ENG LIMITATIONS THAT COULD BE DETRIMENTAL. THUS; WE TOOK OFF (WITH NORMAL/EXPECTED INTERNAL TURBINE TEMPS) AND I WROTE AN 'INFO TO MAINT' UPON ARR IN LAX INTO THE MAINT LOG. THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT PROC. ALTHOUGH A RETURN TO GATE IS NOT REQUIRED; I SHOULD HAVE WRITTEN THE 'INFO TO MAINT' INTO THE MAINT LOG PRIOR TO DEPARTING PSP. MAINT CTL SHOULD ALSO HAVE OFFERED; AND I REQUESTED; A MAINT CTL PIREP NUMBERS. ALTHOUGH BOTH PROCS RESULT IN MAINT MEETING THE ACFT UPON ARR AT OUR DEST; THE EXACT MINUTIAE OF OUT-STATION WRITE-UPS HAD ELUDED ME. NOTE: CAPT UPGRADE TRAINING IS IDENTICAL TO FO/NEW HIRE TRAINING. VERY LITTLE TIME IS DEVOTED TO THE DETAILS OF MAINT LOGS/RELEASES; ETC.
