A report on the probable cause could take up to two years to complete, according to the NTSB.
The helicopter crashed Jan. 20 in a pasture near Hydro, about 60 miles (97 kilometers) west of Oklahoma City, as it was returning to Weatherford after taking a patient to an Oklahoma City hospital.
The pilot and both Air Evac Lifeteam crew members, a flight nurse and a paramedic, were killed.
