According to Simon Hradecky’s report in The Aviation Herald, the Traffic Collision Avoidance Systems (TCAS) was then activated on both aircraft. The Air France 777 descended and the American Airlines 737 was instructed to climb.
TCAS is an aircraft collision avoidance system that monitors an aircraft’s airspace for other aircraft equipped with a corresponding active transponder. It warns pilots of the presence of any other transponder-equipped aircraft to reduce mid-air collisions between aircraft.
