A Sky Airlines Airbus A320-200N, registration CC-AZN performing flight H2-193 from Santiago to Castro (Chile), was on approach to Castro's Mocopulli Airport about to turn base and descending through 4000 feet when the light aircraft of a local aeroclub came too close to the A320. The crew performed a go around, climbed initially to 5000 feet and subsequently decided to divert to Puerto Montt (Chile), where the aircraft landed safely on runway 35 about 25 minutes after the go around.
The aircraft remained on the ground for about one hour, then departed to Castro and landed at their destination without further incident.
Chile's DGAC reported: "We report that the Santiago-Mocopulli flight, this afternoon, had to avoid landing at the destination aerodrome because an aircraft from an air club in the area came closer than recommended to the flight path, reasons that will be investigated by the DGAC Chile."
