Curious what paperwork must be completed for a RA? Must the same be filled out for a TA as well?
In my company:

An Airprox means any situation which in the opinion of the pilot or air traffic control the distance between aircraft as well as their relative positions and speed have been such that the safety of the aircraft involved may have been compromised and/or avoidance action was taken or would have been appropriate.

An Air traffic incident means any incident in which the aircraft had less separation than expected although there was no definite risk of collision.

Any Airprox or air traffic incident must be reported immediately by RT and backed up with an ASR (Air Safety Report)

An ASR is two sides of foolscap with relative diagrams etc.

A TCAS RA automatically requires an ASR. A TA doesn't although it could come under Airprox or Air Traffic Incident.
