Wright claimed that he wasn’t guilty of three accusations of trying to mislead the course of justice.
Prosecutors claim that researchers are concerned that flight time meters will be cut regularly and that their documents are falsified to reach out to the official thresholds.
When Wilson dived into his death, he was caught on a line under a helicopter under a helicopter during a helicopter.
The machine was later fell, and on Tuesday, Robinson seriously injured Robinson, who appeared by a video connection in the wheelchair.
Crown prosecutor Jason Gullaci questioned by the 32 -year -old, during the accident during the accident that Wright was the head of Aircraft Flight for Helibrook Company, but only the name, he said.
Chief Pilot Wright said he made decisions about airplane flight hours and maintenance programs.
Robinson’s name was put forward to Civil Aviation Safety Authority, so he was able to operate with a Helibrook determined maintenance controller, but he did not fulfill the role and said he was never paid for it.
Hobbs acknowledged that separating the flight time registration meters and falsification for the matching of the documents was a “very common” application in Helibrook, and Wright pilots led this.
“He would say, ‘This trip would explode the clock, Rob Robinson said, referring to the cutting of the meters.
When asked if he and other pilots follow Wright’s instructions, he said, “Absolutely … How high if I jump less”.
Wright was a big public figure, everyone wanted to work for him, and the young pilots wanted to please the TV star, Rob Robinson said.
Gullaci asked him that he could elaborate and detail the injuries in the accident.
Im I can, but it is obviously upset me a little, Rob Robinson replied, he said he couldn’t remember the accident.
He listed the fractures of his vertebrae, caused a full seniority of his spinal cord and made him paraplegic.
Both lungs were drilled, left elbows and ankles were broken, and still experienced a traumatic brain damage that caused cognitive problems and mood changes.
“I definitely feel that I am a different person,” he said to the court.
The accusations against Wright are not related to the cauldron, and prosecution does not claim that he is responsible for the accident, Wilson’s death or Robinson’s injuries.
The hearing continues.
