the new report update is helpful (and in English) it says as Satcomm points out ...

Whilst several parts vital for the investigation have been recovered the four weeks since the
accident, some key components are still missing. These components are in particular the epicyclical
second stage planet gear carrier and parts of the forward suspension bar.

The investigation team has discussed a list of scenarios that Airbus Helicopter prepared based on
