In a preliminary report, France’s BEA air accident investigation agency said the two pilots “simultaneously made inputs on the controls” during a go-around for a second attempt. “Our crew are trained and regularly rehearse procedures that are practised by all airlines,” Air France AIRF.PA said.The Boeing 777 is equipped with control columns that move in sympathy with each other to aid co-ordination.
