An Allegiant Airbus A320-200, registration N208NV performing flight
G4-964 from Punta Gorda,FL to Knoxville,TN (USA), was on final RNAV approach to Knoxville's runway 05R when the crew initiated a missed approach descending through about 3000 feet. The crew subsequently requested the RNAV approach to runway 05L (ILS was in operation) but upon intercepting the final approach course again initiated a missed approach, climbed to 5000 feet and entered a hold before decided to divert to Nashville,TN (USA). Knoxville ATC declared emergency for the flight reporting mechanical problems with the GPS system explaining to the crew so that the collegues further down would know what the issue was. The aircraft climbed to 12000 feet and landed safely on Nashville's runway 02R about 40 minutes after the second missed approach.
A replacement Airbus A320-200 registration N286NV reached Knoxville with a delay of about 8 hours.
The occurrence aircraft is still on the ground in Nashville about 21 hours after landing.
