Celebrity crocodile wrangler Matt Wright will spend five months in prison for tampering with evidence after a helicopter crash that killed his co-star and left the pilot a paraplegic.
In August, the former Netflix star was found guilty of lying to police and pressuring a hospitalised witness after the 2022 crash in the Northern Territory (NT).
On Friday, Acting Justice Alan Blow handed Wright a 10-month prison term, which will be suspended after he has served half of it. He was also fined A$5,000 ($3,300; £2,500).
Justice Blow said Wright had shown no remorse but was very unlikely to reoffend in any significant way in the future.
The maximum sentence for his charges was 15 years in prison.
The jury could not agree on a verdict for a third charge that alleged Wright asked someone to torch evidence.
Wright's lawyers indicated previously that they planned to appeal the guilty verdicts.
The judge pointed to mitigating factors in deciding the length of his jail term, like his contribution to the community and character references that were the most impressive I've ever seen.
The NT Supreme Court case centred around a helicopter crash in February 2022 in Arnhem Land, about 500km (310 miles) east of Darwin.
Wright's friend and Outback Wrangler co-star Chris Willow Wilson - suspended from the chopper in a sling during a crocodile egg harvesting trip - was killed.
The pilot Sebastian Robinson was seriously injured, suffering punctured lungs and a severe brain injury.
Wright, who was not in the helicopter, was one of the first people to arrive at the crash site.
During the month-long trial, prosecutors told the court that Wright had lied to police about how much fuel was in the helicopter's tank when it plummeted to the ground.
The evidence included secret recordings of Wright's conversations which, the prosecution said, contradicted his claims that the fuel tank was half full when asked in police interviews.
Wright was also accused of going to the hospital bedside of Mr Robinson - who had been told by doctors he may never walk again - and asking him to change flight records that showed how many hours the aircraft had flown.
Prosecutors argued this was because Wright was worried that investigators would find out he regularly changed the official flying hours of a chopper to avoid costly maintenance.
The jury delivered unanimous verdicts for both the charges.
A third charge related to Wright asking a friend to torch the helicopter's maintenance record.
The jury was deadlocked on the third charge and unable to return a verdict. It remains under consideration by the courts.
The case does not relate to the cause of the crash, the death of Mr Wilson and Mr Robinson's injuries.
The trial exposed the inner workings of the NT's helicopter community with revelations that it was common practice to pop the clock by disconnecting a meter that records flight hours in order to delay maintenance requirements.
The prosecution argued that falsifying flight records was rampant across the industry and Wright was worried his involvement in this practice would be blamed for the crash.
Wright is best known globally as the star of National Geographic's Outback Wrangler and Netflix's Wild Croc Territory reality shows.
Before the sentencing was handed down, prosecutor Jason Gullaci SC said Wright should serve a term of actual immediate imprisonment to reflect the seriousness of his crimes.
Wright's defence lawyer requested that the judge not sentence his client based on his celebrity status.
