The NTSB will continue its investigation into the case, primarily looking into the parts and structures recovered from the ocean floor. According to information from SimpleFlying, the fuselage will be invested in Hawaii while a team will examine the engines in the United States mainland. The recovered engines will be investigated and analyzed to find out what occurred during the accident. The completion of the T4810 investigation is expected within one to two years.
