Narrative:

Nx had asked for airport advisories and we gave him the active runway and reported our position in a left downwind for runway 21. He stated his position as south of the field. We called our left base turn and nx called downwind. I looked in the downwind area and did not see the aircraft (grumman single). We called turn to final and were on GS at 130 KIAS. I looked to my left at approximately 400-300 ft AGL and saw the airplane in a left bank, converging on our flight path. Performed a go around to prevent any possible conflict. I believe the other pilot was spooked because of the snow showers that were in the area at the time.

Title: A CPR LTT HAD TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION GAR TO AVOID A GRUMMAN SMA IN THE VISUAL TFC PATTERN.

Narrative: NX HAD ASKED FOR ARPT ADVISORIES AND WE GAVE HIM THE ACTIVE RWY AND RPTED OUR POS IN A L DOWNWIND FOR RWY 21. HE STATED HIS POS AS S OF THE FIELD. WE CALLED OUR L BASE TURN AND NX CALLED DOWNWIND. I LOOKED IN THE DOWNWIND AREA AND DID NOT SEE THE ACFT (GRUMMAN SINGLE). WE CALLED TURN TO FINAL AND WERE ON GS AT 130 KIAS. I LOOKED TO MY L AT APPROX 400-300 FT AGL AND SAW THE AIRPLANE IN A L BANK, CONVERGING ON OUR FLT PATH. PERFORMED A GAR TO PREVENT ANY POSSIBLE CONFLICT. I BELIEVE THE OTHER PLT WAS SPOOKED BECAUSE OF THE SNOW SHOWERS THAT WERE IN THE AREA AT THE TIME.
