Narrative:
Austral Líneas Aéreas flight 2394, an Embraer ERJ-190AR, and a Eurocopter Dauphin helicopter were involved in a runway incursion incident at MVD.

The ERJ-190 was cleared to land on runway 19.
A helicopter from the Uruguayan Air Force was conducting a training exercise and was authorized to proceed toward the threshold of runway 19 via the Delta area, a designated maneuvering area for helicopters located between taxiways C and F.

Before reaching the threshold of runway 19, the aircraft observed the helicopter near its intended landing point. The aircraft executed a go-around, turning to the right.
Given the VMC (Visual Meteorological Conditions), the aircraft then performed a visual right-hand circuit to approach runway 19 again.
