Ivan Taclue - Agreed that crew should not wait for ATC to issue an instruction if they get an RA. What I'm saying is that the RA takes priority. What happens if ATC issue an instruction to an aircraft 5 seconds before a TA/RA occurs? Will there be any doubt in the mind of the pilot? Maybe it's redundent as most seem to agree that TCAS instructions take priority of ATC instructions (on this forum anyway) but the brain can be confused from time to time but giving it conflicting information. Just a thought...
