A Queensland woman has been convicted of fraud and fined $2,000 for using the name of the pilot who died in the Sea World helicopter collision in an attempt to get out of a traffic fine.

Ashley Jenkinson died along with three other people when the helicopter he was flying collided with another in mid-air on the Gold Coast Broadwater on January 2.
