Mr Dumbrell, a former Tumut deputy mayor and passionate aviator, was found dead inside the wreckage of his amateur-built Rand Robinson KR-2 plane near Adelong on October 7.
An update from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) said completion of its draft report had been delayed.
It is expected to be released to directly involved parties for comment this month.
"Feedback from those parties on the factual accuracy of the draft report will be considered for inclusion in the final report," the ATSB investigation report said.
The final report is due to be made available to the public in July.
The 65-year-old's family had reported him missing after he hadn't been heard from since leaving home for a flight to Holbrook two days earlier.
The crashed plane was found about 400 metres from the private landing strip where it took off.
