Narrative:
During the approach, the Airbus A320 was in an unstable configuration and conducted a missed approach which resulted in a loss of separation with a departing Bell 412 helicopter as the controller had not protected the missed approach path for the A320. The controller attempted to maintain a vertical separation but the crew of the A320 could not comply with the initial instructions given by ATC. Separation reduced to 1.5 NM and 600 ft as the A320 was turned away from the Bell 412.
