pilot1975: I think your company has it right. But that's a different discussion topic and I do not want to hijack your thread.
Meanwhile, to reduce the stress and paperwork of ATCOs if a "nuissance" 1000ft level-off RA is issued, some guidance is provided in PANS-OPS.
Eurocontrol's ACAS Bulletin no. 10:
New ICAO RA reporting proceduresOn 22 November 2007 changes to ICAO PANS-OPS Doc 8168, PANS-ATM Doc 4444, and PANS-ABC Doc 8400 became effective. Now, only those RAs that require a deviation from ATC clearance or instruction need to be reported. The new phraseology is:��“TCAS RA”(pronounced “TEE-CAS-AR-AY”)
My bolding.
Cheers,
