On 12 August 2024, an ATR 72-500 making a Category 1 ILS approach to Guernsey with thick fog breached an approach ban by continuing its descent below the applicable minimum altitude of 1,000 feet agl. The aircraft then continued below what would have been the applicable 200 feet agl Decision Altitude without visual reference. At around 70 feet agl, a go-around was called but not correctly commenced, and the aircraft passed close to an unseen mast north of the runway before it eventually climbed. In the absence of any visibility improvement, a diversion to Southampton then followed.
