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.
Maneuvers that are in the opposite direction of the Resolution Advisory
(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.
