- manigandham 6y agoIt’s not automatic. TCAS is a warning system (available given the sensors installed) that provides a resolution advisory. It’s up the pilot to take action. A very few number of planes do have the capability to integrate this with autopilot but it’s almost always disabled because it can cause cascading collision issues.
