Because it is a very advanced and complex helicopter fitted with autopilot and other goodies. If they rushed out the report the armchair experts would be commenting along the lines of "it had auto-pilot, why didn't he just press go-to and sit back and relax." They need to dot their i's and cross their t's with these complex types. The same thing happened with the ABC chopper out of Maree that likely went in due to night proficiency.
