Pilots at the controls of a jet that plunged into the Atlantic Ocean killing 228 people were not adequately trained for the emergency, a coroner has said.
Michael Oakley, North Yorkshire coroner, was speaking at the inquest into the deaths of two British men in the Air France jet disaster, in 2009.
Arthur Coakley, 61, of Whitby and Neil Warrier, 48, from London, both died.
The crash, during a Brazil-to-France flight, was blamed on technical failure and pilot errors.
Recording a narrative verdict on the men, who both died from multiple injuries, Mr Oakley said there had been a series of "systematic failures".
