Sorry Nigel but the first rule of TCAS procedure is NOT to maneuver based on TA alone. You must wait for the RA to trigger before you do anything. Relying on visual contact to avoid is not recommended as you can easily find yourself in a secondary RA and deep doo doo! It's getting to a point where we only need the windows for the last 50 feet of the approach, and even that's optional.
