Yup - here it is published in "Transport and Safety Investigation Regulation 2003 -
Folks,
Don't blame CASA for this one, the above regulations are nothing to do with CASA ----- talk to ATSB.

The real answer to this sort of thing is to conscientiously report every instance to ATSB, deluge them with reports.

Many years ago, BASI demanded an incident report for every case of an activation of ANY TCAS warning ---- not just resolution advisories. With the traffic count in Australia, hardly a problem, but western Europe or US, an entirely different matter.

A whole bunch of Qantas blokes "resolved" to follow the instruction to the letter.

The result was a humongous deluge of paperwork, that didn't make Qantas Flight Ops administration too happy, let alone BASI.
The record ( from memory) was eleven (11) in a 35 minute sector from Manchester to London, with as many as 50 or so from one crew, Sydney London Sydney.

Bottom line, the instructions were promptly changed to line up with the rest of the world, only report RAs.

Tootle pip!!
