Amazon Prime (Atlas Cargo) 767 down

Is there an average or "target" timeline on when they might be done?

They do not pressure themselves with limitations. They will be done when they are done.

No not really but I believe the recovery of the CVR and FDR will prove to be very helpful.

This very topic on Airliners.net has over 700 replies.  Has the aircraft rate of decent, flight path over Trinity Bay, crew coms, air traffic control coms.  Feel free to wait for the NTSB report.

None of that means much in the arena of what caused the crash.  There is even a few seconds of video with the plane steep nose down and the water splash. None of that tells why.

They'll come up with a preliminary report relatively soon--30 to 90 days is my best guess.   Won't be the final word though.

I still haven't seen the video.  The only one out there so labeled seems to show a Guardian helo hovering and nothing else.

Was it a Boeing or an Airbus that had some kind of software glitch that caused pitch downs?

I have not seen the physical video either. It is referenced in reports as a security video showing the later part of the event.

Egypt Air had a problem with “pitch downs” on the 767 you could blame on “programming” to steal a term.

Yeah.  I read it was from a prison surveillance camera.    Whew.   Can’t even die in privacy to preserve some dignity any more.......

It was the new and improved 737:  https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2018/11/indonesia-737-crash-caused-by-safety-feature-change-pilots-werent-told-of/

I have seen 2 videos now. Both from security cameras. This shows the best view.

That’s a significant descent rate.  Scary.
