MISTAKES by inadequately trained pilots and faulty equipment caused an Air France jet to plunge into the Atlantic, killing all 228 people aboard, French air accident investigators said.
The BEA air accident investigation agency is now recommending better training for pilots and stricter plane certification rules as a result of its three-year probe into the crash of Flight 447.
Graham Gardner, from Gourock, Inverclyde, was among those killed in the crash in June 2009.
