Traffic Avoidance
PM398, PM411 - PP519, PQ976 - PT832
Immediately accomplish the following by recall whenever a TCAS traffic
advisory (TA) or resolution advisory (RA) occurs.
WARNING: Comply with the RA if there is a conflict between the
RA and air traffic control.
WARNING: Once an RA has been issued, safe separation could be
compromised if current vertical speed is changed,
except as necessary to comply with the RA. This is
because TCAS II-to-TCAS II coordination may be in
progress with the intruder aircraft, and any change in
vertical speed that does not comply with the RA may
negate the effectiveness of the other aircraft’s
compliance with the RA.
Note: If stick shaker or initial buffet occurs during the maneuver,
immediately accomplish the APPROACH TO STALL
RECOVERY procedure.
Note: If high speed buffet occurs during the maneuver, relax pitch force
as necessary to reduce buffet, but continue the maneuver.
PQ976
Note: Do not use flight director commands until clear of conflict.
PM398, PM411 - PP519, PT804 - PT832
Note: Do not use flight director pitch commands until clear of conflict.
For TA:
Note: Maneuvers based solely on a TA may result in reduced separation
and are not recommended.
For RA, except a climb in landing configuration:
WARNING: A DESCEND (fly down) RA issued below 1000 feet
AGL should not be followed.
