China Airlines Flight 140, an Airbus A300-600R, stalled and crashed at Nagoya Airport on 26 April 1994, killing 264 of 271 aboard, after the autopilot's go-around trim ran the stabilizer full nose-up against the pilot's manual nose-down inputs.

Automation logic withheld braking for nine seconds as Lufthansa Flight 2904 overran the runway at Warsaw

Lufthansa Flight 2904's A320 landed fast at Warsaw on 14 September 1993 and its air-to-ground logic withheld spoilers and reversers for about nine seconds; it overran into an embankment, killing 2 of 70 aboard. Polish investigators blamed crew decisions and cited the braking logic as contributory.

An A320 autopilot flew a 3,300 ft/min descent into a French ridge, killing 87

Air Inter Flight 148, an Airbus A320, descended at 3,300 feet per minute into a wooded ridge near Mont Sainte-Odile on 20 January 1992, killing 87 of 96 aboard; investigators judged confusion between the autopilot's vertical speed and flight path angle modes quite probable but could not prove it.
