CAP 493 (Manual of Air Traffic Services Part 1) which is downloadable off the link
Effect on ATC Operations
The effect of advisories on air traffic control operations is as follows:
Traffic Advisory – Pilots are advised not to take avoiding action on the basis of TA
information alone but may ask for traffic information.
Resolution Advisory – Pilots are expected to respond immediately but have been
instructed to restrict manoeuvres to the minimum necessary to resolve the
confliction, advise the air traffic control unit as soon as is practical thereafter and
return to their original flight path as soon as it is safe to do so.
CAP 493 Supplementary Instruction No. 3 of 2005 Para. 3
cdb, what I'm saying is that I would be concerned of letting the blips merge with 2 a/c following RA's that compromises separation and yes, avoiding action was given to overt further losses with other a/c.
