Capt Claret, if the fast jets were so close why did you not get an RA?as you previously mentioned you got a TA.
A TA is a prediction another aircraft will enter the conflict airspace in 25 to 45seconds. TAs assist the flight crew in establishing visual contact with the other aircraft.
An RA is a prediction that another airplane will enter the TCAS conflict airspace within approximately 20 to 30 seconds.
