The survivors of last weekend's horror helicopter crash during a Christchurch couple's wedding remain in hospital but are making progress.
The Robinson R44 helicopter's engine lost power shortly after take-off last Saturday at Terrace Downs in Mid Canterbury during the wedding of Mahdi Zougub and Fay El Hanafy.
The couple was badly injured, along with the pilot and wedding photographer Rachel Jordan.
A spokesman for the pilot, employed by Wyndon Aviation, said she was improving.
"The pilot is in reasonable spirits, considering what she has been through," he said.
