The BFU is a relatively small independent authority. By size it is NOT another NTSB. It's not looking for legal guilt but just for the scientific, functional reasons behind certain mishaps and accidents. Many times they need to get experts from the outside to do specific research. That can easily take years. They certainly do take themselves time but they feel no need to rush. Only when they feel they are done they are done.
I'd dare to say they are as independent as it gets. That's a big plus. Their judgement has a value.
