Narrative:

During takeoff roll I noted r-hand engine above expected internal turbine temperature. We aborted, contacted company dispatcher, maintenance control and psp ground control. It was soon discovered that the reason for the high internal turbine temperature was due to us basing our performance calculations on the 30 min old ATIS temperature, when current actual temperature was 3 degrees higher. Maintenance control reviewed all data and determined that we had not exceeded any engine limitations that could be detrimental. Thus, we took off (with normal/expected internal turbine temperatures) and I wrote an 'information to maintenance' upon arrival in lax into the maintenance log. This is not the correct procedure. Although a return to gate is not required, I should have written the 'information to maintenance' into the maintenance log prior to departing psp. Maintenance control should also have offered, and I requested, a maintenance control PIREP numbers. Although both procedures result in maintenance meeting the aircraft upon arrival at our destination, the exact minutiae of out-station write-ups had eluded me. Note: captain upgrade training is identical to first officer/new hire training. Very little time is devoted to the details of maintenance logs/releases, etc.

Title: 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.
