Le Ping,
Do you actually know anything about the programming of TCAS/ACAS in various modes. I do.
If you did, you would understand there is nothing inconsistent with an adequate separation determined by visual on the other aircraft and an RA.
During the same period there was what was, in my opinion, a far worse event north of Brisbane.
In my opinion, and many others, an airline aircraft changed heading to deliberately create a loss of separation event to discredit the trial, such was the vehement opposition to change by domestic airline pilots.
All these years later, sadly, nothing has changed.
Tootle pip!!
Do tell about the event north of Brisbane. Any reference to a report?

I'm fully aware TCAS RAs and visual separation aren't mutually exclusive. The question is why did the Tobago pilot put himself where he was by thinking a whole two degrees difference in radial was adequate and why didn't he pipe up once he heard the 737.
