A quick question:

How much is an aircraft supposed to Climb/Descent in a TCAS RA situation, if it is not in a situation where both aircraft is climbing/descending towards eachother

I know the procedure about keeping the V/S needle out of the red zone, until Clear Of Conflict is given. but in a recent incident an aircraft reacted to a RA and it brought him in conflict with two other aircraft not initially part of the incident. First he descended due to an RA. It then triggered a Climb RA due to traffic below, and he ended up violating another aircraft on top of him.

If both TCAS RA affected aircraft changes level by +/- 300 feet, seperation should stil exist with other traffic.
