SR. WELLINGTON ANDRADE RODRIGUES: O que nós temos que saber diferenciar existe o plano de vôo proposto, plano de vôo solicitado e plano de vôo autorizado. Nós temos diferenças nisso.
English
Mr. Wellington Andrade Rodrigues: What we have to understand distinguishing that there is the 'PROPOSED Flight Plan ', the 'REQUESTED Flight Plan' and, the 'AUTHORIZED Flight Plan'. We have difference in that.
SR. RELATOR SENADOR DEMOSTENES TORRES (DEM-GO): Correto. E nesse caso, o proposto foi oautorizado?
Mr. Senator Demostenes Torres, Relator (=referee), Democrats Party, Goias State: Correct. In this case, the 'PROPOSED [Flight Plan ]' was it the 'AUTHORIZED [Flight Plan ]' ?
SR. WELLINGTON ANDRADE RODRIGUES: Não.
Mr. Wellington Andrade Rodrigues: No.
SR. RELATOR SENADOR DEMOSTENES TORRES (DEM-GO): Qual a diferença? Esse foi o plano de vôo proposto. O que foi autorizado? O senhor pode nos dizer?
Mr. Senator Demostenes Torres, Relator, Democrats Party, Goias State: What's the difference? That it was the PROPOSED Flight Plan . Which was the AUTHORIZED [Flight Plan ]? Do you can tell us, sir?
SR. WELLINGTON ANDRADE RODRIGUES: Eu digo assim com base no que eu ouvi, porque como não fui eu que fiz a autorização, eu posso explicar por base do que eu fiquei sabendo.
Mr. Wellington Andrade Rodrigues: I say thus based on what I have heard, because as it was't me who made the CLEARANCE, I can explain grounded on what I learned.
SR. RELATOR SENADOR DEMOSTENES TORRES (DEM-GO): Então o senhor também não tem certeza se foi realmente, o senhor não teve acesso a essa documentação.
Mr. Senator Demostenes Torres, Democrats Party, Goias State: Then sir, you do not make sure also whether it actually had been [AUTORIZED], sir, you had no access to that documentation.
SR. WELLINGTON ANDRADE RODRIGUES: Não. Eu tive acesso às gravações... Que não fui eu que fiz a autorização.
Mr. Wellington Andrade Rodrigues: No. I had access to tape-recordings...that it was't me who made the CLEARANCE.
SR. PRESIDENTE SENADOR TIÃO VIANA (PT-AC): Permita, Relator, você afirmou aqui que não foi o autorizado.
Mr. Senator Tiao Viana, President of Parliamentary Commettee of Inquiry, Labors Party, Acre State: Permission, Relator, you [Sergeant Wellington ] affirmed right here that [Flight Plan ] it had not been AUTHORIZED.
SR. WELLINGTON ANDRADE RODRIGUES: Isso eu afirmo.
Mr. Wellington Andrade Rodrigues: That I affirm.
SR. PRESIDENTE SENADOR TIÃO VIANA (PT-AC): Foi proposto, mas não foi autorizado.
Mr. Senator Tiao Viana, Presidente of Parliamentary Commettee of Inquiry , Labors Party, Acre State: It had been PROPOSED, but it hadn't been AUTHORIZED.
