Your TCAS RA experiences
I would like to gather some views and experiences, - from those of you have had ACTUAL RA's - because the two I have had 'recently' have been VERY different from what I have seen in the sim and were less than intuitive. If you've had an RA could you tell me:
1) Aircraft type
2) Type of RA
3) Whether you were level, descending or climbing
4) Did RA require you to do something different from what you expected, given the identified TA threat?
5)Were PFD commands easy to understand and follow
6) Was audio easy to understand and follow.
If you've never had an RA or only done the exercise in the sim, then the above questions probably look pretty idiotic. My view now is that it can turn out to be a sight more tricky in reality, than you might expect and am interested to see if others agree.
Cheers folks
