Narrative:

We were on approach at 9000 inbound to clt from the west. Our heading was approximately 110 degree being vectored to east side of airport to land 36R. The approach controller gave us departure traffic off of 36R which was climbing (rapidly) to 8000 ft. We had him in sight briefly then lost him visually. We received a TA followed by a RA to climb 1500 FPM which we did. We climbed to 9400 ft, received a clear of conflict from TCASII, and returned to 9000.

Title: TCASII RA MOTIVATED CLB TO CLR THE RA.

Narrative: WE WERE ON APCH AT 9000 INBOUND TO CLT FROM THE W. OUR HDG WAS APPROX 110 DEG BEING VECTORED TO E SIDE OF ARPT TO LAND 36R. THE APCH CTLR GAVE US DEP TFC OFF OF 36R WHICH WAS CLBING (RAPIDLY) TO 8000 FT. WE HAD HIM IN SIGHT BRIEFLY THEN LOST HIM VISUALLY. WE RECEIVED A TA FOLLOWED BY A RA TO CLB 1500 FPM WHICH WE DID. WE CLBED TO 9400 FT, RECEIVED A CLR OF CONFLICT FROM TCASII, AND RETURNED TO 9000.
