... I forgot to tell that even if ITT and other limits were not exceeded a good part of the cover had gone into the engine air inlet. Part of it stopped on the net at the entrance of the turbine but where is the missing part we hadn't find? has it been expelled out of the turbine or it's stucked somewhere in some compressor's stage?
The actions taken have been: removal of the cover's part melted and stucked on the first air filter, visual check just of the first air compressor stage, start up and power check and 15' test flight.

I'm wondering if this actions suffice or if the turbine should be further checked opening it to be sure no parts of the cover got stacked inside the engine ... I'm know I'm a little bit too much strict but , you know, 110 miles on the sea during day or night time need this kind of issue to be fixed for sure!
