P51,
If you can figure out how to lower the nose a tad with automation
Wrong. Out of interest, how many seconds do you reckon you get to react to a RA? And how many seconds would it take a/to note the required VS; b/set the required VS on the MCP and c/have the aeroplane start responding?
The only reason they got the alert was an aircraft passing behind them so with future RA alerts they will fix that.
How do you work that out?
