In my experience with the NTSB, there are 2 reasons a preliminary report is not out in 30 days. Either the aircraft/CVR/FDR is missing or there is a direct crew related issue. It's been 47 days since the accident. Since they have the FDR and CVR if there was "anything" they could report with the aircraft they would have done so 17 days ago.
