A sidestep on the spur of the moment can be done quicky without nuisances if you switch the GPWS G/S mode OFF. No FMS reprogramming. For go around, follow ATC instructions. A sidestep is a particular case of visual approach.
In the airbus, even GS mini will be quite useful since wind should be similar.

If the sidestep is foreseen, then activate secondary.
