[QUOTE=SNS3Guppy;4336348]Not necessarily. Fly what's commanded, and it may be an agressive maneuver. What's required really depends on the conflict.


Necessarily..... for an initial RA, if you fly what is commanded. Some seem to believe that a strong high G pullup or low G pushover is required. All they are doing his risking injury to pax.

From a Honeywell manual about their TCAS operation...

"A typical TCAS II maneuver requires crew response to the initial RA within 5 seconds and G-forces of ± .25 G.This force is similar to that experienced when initiating an enroute climb or descent."
