Narrative:

While operating as pilot flying of aircraft X cleared for the ILS or localizer runway 9 approach in VMC. Switched mia tower 123.9 at gritt intersection and instructed to slow to final approach speed for separation on a departing A380. Observed the 'super' holding short of runway 9 and instructed first officer; pilot monitoring; to request a sidestep to the northern runway complex 8L/right; request denied for traffic conflict. Tower cleared the super to line up and wait; then for takeoff. As we passed 500 feet the super was beginning rotation. Above the paved overrun we encountered moderate turbulence from the A380's initial takeoff thrust application and I called for the go-around. Vectored 140 degrees heading on climb out and switched departure for downwind vectors and base turn to iness intersection; visual approach and landing runway 9 uneventful.upon landing I requested and received the tower supervisor's phone number. Discussion revealed aircraft separation to be legal; but the minimum allowed. Assuming this to be true; and assuming the super crew competent and expeditious in conduct of their takeoff; I conclude and must state emphatically that the current separation standards for large aircraft landing behind a departing super are woefully inadequate and present a clear hazard to flight safety. Increase separation required between arriving large aircraft behind a departing super.

Title: Air carrier flight crew made a go-around on short final due to wake turbulence from departing Super aircraft.

Narrative: While operating as pilot flying of Aircraft X cleared for the ILS or LOC RWY 9 approach in VMC. Switched MIA Tower 123.9 at GRITT intersection and instructed to slow to final approach speed for separation on a departing A380. Observed the 'Super' holding short of Runway 9 and instructed First Officer; pilot monitoring; to request a sidestep to the northern Runway Complex 8L/R; request denied for traffic conflict. Tower cleared the Super to line up and wait; then for takeoff. As we passed 500 feet the Super was beginning rotation. Above the paved overrun we encountered moderate turbulence from the A380's initial takeoff thrust application and I called for the go-around. Vectored 140 degrees heading on climb out and switched departure for downwind vectors and base turn to INESS intersection; visual approach and landing Runway 9 uneventful.Upon landing I requested and received the Tower Supervisor's phone number. Discussion revealed aircraft separation to be legal; but the minimum allowed. Assuming this to be true; and assuming the Super crew competent and expeditious in conduct of their takeoff; I conclude and must state emphatically that the current separation standards for large aircraft landing behind a departing Super are woefully inadequate and present a clear hazard to flight safety.
