An American Airlines Boeing 737-800, registration N800NN performing flight AA-2587 from Chicago O'Hare,IL to Austin,TX (USA) with 122 passengers and 6 crew, was on cross wind about to intercept the final visual approach for runway 36L when ATC reported unknown traffic at 11 o'clock in 5nm westbound. The crew reported the traffic in sight. Approach instructed AA-2587 to reduce speed to 170 KIAS to avoid the traffic going through their final approach. When Approach inquired whether they still had the high wings traffic in sight, the crew replied in the negative, approach cleared the flight to join final approach advising the traffic was now through their final approach path. A few seconds later, with alert sounds in the background, approach advised the traffic was now turning southbound and instructed the Boeing to continue turning right onto a heading of 030 and climb to 3000 feet. Approach instructed the next approach that there was a traffic right in the middle of their approach path and turned that flight off the approach, too. The Boeing crew advised they had seen a flash of the traffic that was heading straight towards them. The Boeing subsequently turned left for another downwind, rejoined the approach and landed without further incident on runway 36L about 10 minutes later.

The FAA reported a Cessna 182 unintentionally entered the flight path of the American Airlines Boeing. A TCAS resolution advisory prompted the crew to initiate an escape maneouver. The aircraft came as close as 350 feet vertical and 800 feet horizontal separation.
