TRAFFIC AND COLLISION AVOIDANCE
The pilot must not initiate evasive maneuvers using Traffic Advisory
information (TA) only, without visually sighting conflicting traffic.
The traffic display and advisories are intended for assistance in
visually locating the indicated conflicting traffic.
Compliance with TCAS resolution advisory is required unless the pilot
considers it unsafe to do so. Maneuvers that are in the opposite
direction of the RA are extremely hazardous, especially RAs involving
altitude crossing, and thus are prohibited unless it is visually
determined to be the only means to assure safe separation.
WARNING:
IT IS POSSIBLE IN SOME CASES TO HAVE
INSUFFICIENT AIRPLANE PERFORMANCE TO
FOLLOW THE TCAS COMMAND WITHOUT FLYING
INTO STALL WARNING OR BUFFET. CONDITIONS
WHERE THIS MAY OCCUR INCLUDE:
• BANK ANGLE IN EXCESS OF 15 DEGREES.
• OPERATIONS AT AIRPORTS ABOVE 5300 FT MSL
OR TEMPERATURES GREATER THAN ISA + 28°C
(50°F).
• ENGINE INOPERATIVE.
• FAILURE TO CONFIGURE THE ARPLANE TO GO-
AROUND FOLLOWING A CLIMB RA IN LANDING
CONFIGURATION.
• FAILURE TO ADVANCE THRUST TO MAX
CONTINUOUS THRUST FOLLOWING A CLIMB RA
AT REDUCED THRUST.
• SPEEDS LESS THAN NORMAL OPERATING
SPEED.
• ABNORMAL CONFIGURATIONS WHICH REDUCE
PERFORMANCE (E.G. GEAR DOWN).
• TCAS COMMAND REVERSAL TO A "CLIMB-CLIMB
NOW".
• BUFFET MARGIN LESS THAN 0.3G.
