>> no less than 27 power cycles were required to get all systems functioning between initial startup and takeoff. These power cycles varied in degree – from “cold iron” resets, where the aircraft had to be shut down and then restarted, to component or battery power recycling.

Those are 27 power cycles spread across all the different flights described in that section of the document, not 27 power cycles for one single flight.
