CHAPTER 5
PERFORMANCE DATA

SECTION 1. INTRODUCTION

5-1. PURPOSE
This chapter provides performance data for the TI4100GPU-24 (Turbo
Start 4100). Continual reference to this information will enable the
user to obtain maximum performance, utilization and service life from
the Turbo Start. Although maximum performance is not always required,
regular referral to this chapter is recommended for the following rea-
sons:
a. To generate knowledge of unit’s performance margins to enable
the operator to make sound judgment when unexpected conditions or
alternate operational requirements are encountered.
b. To enable the user to readily recognize situations requiring
maximum performance.
c. To gain experience in accurately estimating the effects of
variables for which data is not presented.
d. To help the operator determine if an aircraft system malfunc-
tion exists by comparing actual performance with expected perfor-
mance. NOTE
The information provided in this chapter is primarily intended for
operational planning and is most useful when planning operations under
unfamiliar conditions or environmental extremes. The data may also be
used to establish local operating procedures and to ensure unit’s
operational life is maximized.
5-2. GENERAL
The data presented covers the maximum range of conditions and perfor-
mance that can reasonably be expected. In each area of performance,
the effects of temperature and DC electrical load demand relating to
the ground power support requirements are presented. Wherever practi-
cal, data is presented conservatively. However, NO GENERAL CONSERVA-
TISM HAS BEEN APPLIED. All performance data presented is within the
applicable limits of the Turbo Start.
