Sadly airlines like Air France are managing that all on their own
.

Wouldn't it be better if BOAC and the alike tried a little bit more factual reading than to ennoy us with their preconceived (even if with underlying reality) opinion?
Consider a few facts:
This rather detailed 143 long study by the French BEA deals with 15 ASAGA* accidents/incidents, for which over more than a decennie ICAO, French and FAA data bases have been scanned. The A380 in JFK merely accounts for 1,5 pages.
*ASAGA = Aeroplane State Awareness during Go Around
The purpose clearly is to shed light on a rather common critical scenario, also occuring in anglo-saxon air culture.

Incidentally one also finds on You-tube the proud video of Emirates claiming
A380 opertation to JFK more than a year prior to AF......

In reality, I do not know which particular airline was involved in that particular incident (although I do for most of the analysed accidents), but definetly we are not have here a report by a national tranportation board on a national occurence.

Bottom line: a pretty good report about a concerning and common scenario for a wide variety of A/C types and operators. Instructive for all sides of channels, oceans and other borders.
