I don't know the design parameters of the latest Airbus's but the 310 had a vicious go around compared to the Boeing. The Boeing will maintain 2000 fpm while the AB goes to full thrust. If the airplane is light the attitude is way high in the Bus and it is necessary to cancel the auto thrust if you want to make it more reasonable (for passenger comfort perhaps).
China Air lost a 310 when the pilot, while doing a go around on auto pilot, pulled back the thrust levers to reduce the rate of climb and climb attitude, which led to a stall. He was slow to turn off the auto pilot and recover and the airplane only just managed to make level flight at less than 100 feet agl. Unfortunately, there was a 150 foot building in front of them. Sad. The pilot was one of their best, too, and he had his wife and kids as passengers.
Other than that, the 310 is a great airplane, pre fbw.
