Indonesian prosecutors have accused the pilot of a Garuda plane that crashed killing 21 people - including five Australians - of fabricating a story about mechanical problems to escape blame for the disaster.
Pilot Marwoto Komar's Boeing 737 slammed onto the runway at Yogyakarta airport, careered into a field and exploded in flames on March 7, 2007.
A government probe said Komar ignored 15 automated cockpit warnings not to land as he brought the plane in at about twice the safe speed.
Komar is now facing trial accused of criminal negligence leading to death.
Testifying in his own defence last week, Komar sought for the first time to blame the crash on mechanical problems, saying he'd been unable to lift the plane's nose.
But prosecutors, who want Komar jailed for four years, said in court on Thursday there was no evidence to support his claim.
"The defendant's claim that there was a problem is just his alibi," prosecutor Jaka Purwanto said.
"There is no evidence, expert statements, that there was a steering or stabiliser jam.
"Based on witnesses and co-pilot testimonies, the incident was caused by the defendant's lack of care." Purwanto said Komar had not displayed remorse for the crash and did not feel guilty.
"He does not apologise to victims who died or suffer from disabilities, or their families," he said.
Outside the court, Komar insisted his story was true.
"Who was on that plane? Who felt the problem? It was me," he said.
Prosecutors last month abandoned a charge that Komar deliberately crashed the plane, conceding they did not have enough evidence to back it up.
If proved, that charge could have seen Komar locked up for life.
A verdict in the case is expected in the coming weeks. Komar's lawyers will address the court again next Monday.
The Australians killed in the crash were: diplomat Liz O'Neill, AusAID official Allison Sudradjat, Australian Federal Police officers Brice Steele and Mark Scott, and Australian Financial Review journalist Morgan Mellish.
Indonesia, which relies heavily on air links across the archipelago, has one of Asia's worst air safety records.
