TCAS was a relatively new technology at the time of the accident, having been mandatory in Europe since 2000. When TCAS issues a resolution advisory (RA), the pilot flying should respond immediately by direct attention to RA displays and maneuver as indicated, unless doing so would jeopardise the safe operation of the flight, or unless the flight crew can assure separation with the help of definitive visual acquisition of the aircraft causing the RA.", "metadata": {"title_span": [0, 33], "section_span": [35, 62], "content_span": [63, 631]}} {"id": "enwiki-00171644-0029-0000", "contents": "2002 \u00dcberlingen mid-air collision, TCAS and conflicting orders\nIn responding to a TCAS RA that directs a deviation from assigned altitude, the flight crew should communicate with ATC as soon as practicable after responding to the RA.
