Follow the RA-
So there I was….flying along around 3k IFR controlled. I get an RA for a climb, I see no traffic. I start the climb and I see traffic above, now I get an RA to maintain vertical speed, prompting a descent. I think TCAS is out to lunch, but I follow the new RA to descend, and now I get and RA to climb again. Now, I’m nearly certain my TCAS is out to lunch, but I follow it anyway.
Once the RAs cease, we talk to ATC to see what’s going on. I turns out 3 T-34’s not talking to anyone split around me, causing the multiple RA’s. I only saw one.
A rule to live by- “follow the box.”
