The development of TURBISTAN is a joint international effort to derive a loading standard representative for fighter engine disc usage. The present paper describes the compilation of operational flight data, their analysis and the generation of a preliminary TURBISTAN sequence for 'cold' compressor discs. The sequence contains about 8000 cycles which represent 100 flights. In addition the paper describes the background and philosophy of a material testing program meant to assess the effectiveness of the standard and to explore the validity of the assumptions made in its derivation.
