Almost went around once in over a decade of flying out of JFK. The weather is typically VFR. Winds are often a right crosswind, and gets turbulent from all the buildings to the right of the runway.
And people make such a bid deal out of this. If flown correctly you're on centerline a couple of miles from the runway. This if fun stuff. Well, until someone decides, in CAVOK, to cross CRI at 130 KIAS.
Then the arrival pattern gets ugly.
Watch the arrivals while lining up to depart 13R. Nothing like seeing TCAS readings of +300, +400, +500, of aircraft on the arc when the minimums are closer to 800'.
