Narrative:

Cleared for takeoff runway 16L. As we began to roll, a go around was issued to an aircraft landing on 16R. No further instructions were issued to us. While climbing through about 1200 ft our TCASII issued a RA to 'reduce vertical climb.' the copilot began slowing the climb. Traffic was noted at 500 ft above us directly overhead. The climb was stopped at 1500 ft when the TCASII issued a 'monitor vertical climb.' the traffic was then 200 ft directly overhead. I asked tower if there was traffic above us and was told that the aircraft which had gone around was, 'well above us.' without TCASII and with a rate of climb of over 1500 FPM, we would have climbed through the other aircraft within several seconds of our first alert.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: ACR HAS TCASII RA ON INITIAL CLB, APPROX 1200 FT.

Narrative: CLRED FOR TKOF RWY 16L. AS WE BEGAN TO ROLL, A GAR WAS ISSUED TO AN ACFT LNDG ON 16R. NO FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS WERE ISSUED TO US. WHILE CLBING THROUGH ABOUT 1200 FT OUR TCASII ISSUED A RA TO 'REDUCE VERT CLB.' THE COPLT BEGAN SLOWING THE CLB. TFC WAS NOTED AT 500 FT ABOVE US DIRECTLY OVERHEAD. THE CLB WAS STOPPED AT 1500 FT WHEN THE TCASII ISSUED A 'MONITOR VERT CLB.' THE TFC WAS THEN 200 FT DIRECTLY OVERHEAD. I ASKED TWR IF THERE WAS TFC ABOVE US AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ACFT WHICH HAD GONE AROUND WAS, 'WELL ABOVE US.' WITHOUT TCASII AND WITH A RATE OF CLB OF OVER 1500 FPM, WE WOULD HAVE CLBED THROUGH THE OTHER ACFT WITHIN SEVERAL SECONDS OF OUR FIRST ALERT.
