Monarch Airlines flight 942, an Airbus A321 aircraft (G-OZBH), started an ILS approach to runway 01 at the Menorca Airport, Spain, after having been cleared by ATS.
Minutes earlier, an Aquila A210 aircraft, registration D-EPIG, had taken off from the aerodrome of San Luis (LESL), very close to Menorca Airport, from runway 02 to go on a local VFR flight.
The pilot of the Aquila airplane, who did not keep the other traffic in sight, was cleared by approach control to cross from east to west behind the flight path of the A321 aircraft.
At that point, the crew of the A321 received a TCAS RA ("LEVEL OFF"), so they levelled off the airplane and then carried out a missed approach (go-around maneuver) to make a new approach. They eventually landed normally. The other aircraft continued on its flight normally. There were no injuries among the occupants of either aircraft and there was no material damage. The Aquila had passed 400 feet below the A321.
The investigation determined that the incident occurred because the pilot of the AQUILA airplane did not correctly follow the instructions provided by ATS and executed a maneuver that was different from the one he had requested and that had been authorized.
