Ukraine's State Aviation Service reported in their (delayed) monthly bulletin for March, that a subsequent engine run showed normal engine parameters for both engines. Upon recommendation by the airport engineering staff the engine was examined in more detail and a soft cover of dark green colour was found in the air intake. A following investigation established that the soft cover had been used as engine cover not meeting regulatory requirements, which require such engine covers to be red and feature a red pennant. The flight crew should verify that the air intakes are free of any foreign objects, the dark green colour, darkness and the lack of a step ladder however prevented the detection of the cover. The investigation determined that the input guide vanes of the left hand engines were blocked by the foreign object preventing the engine to accelerate normally but increase the temperature to critical values. The occurrence was rated a serious incident as result of the investigation.
