Accidents/Incidents with FBW sidesticks?

[Piece of Cake]

I’m looking into the safety aspects of Active vs Passive sidesticks for a FBW CS-25 aircraft, with the assumption that active sidesticks would provide better awareness to a crew member of what the other pilot inputs are compared to a passive sidestick. As a result, the risk of LOC-I/Hard landings etc. would be reduced.

I’m looking for any accidents/incidents where a passive sidestick may have been a factor. Apart from AF447 (2009) A330, Indonesia AirAsia Flight 8501 (2014) A320 and the hard landing of a MyTravel A320 at Kos in 2007 (G-DHJZ).

Does anyone know of any others?

I vaguely remember that Airbus originally were going to display the flight control position cross on the PFD at all times but after flight testing it was changed to only display on the ground. Not linking the sidesticks removed 100lb from the airframe. A lot of the early design characteristics were examined by a technical working group within Balpa and they wrote a paper about the aircraft. They may still have a copy.
