Narrative:

While in cruise flight, at 10000 10 southeast of ctf, we simultaneously received an ATC advisory of traffic at 10-11 O'clock, unconfirmed at 9500 ft. Our TCASII showed minus 400. Approximately 1.5-2 seconds later, we received a 'climb, climb, climb' RA. We followed the RA and climbed to approximately 10350 in compliance with the RA. We then received a 'clear of conflict' message and returned to 10000 on course. Apparently the RA took us out of flo airspace and into jax airspace. We were advised at clt (destination) that the 'snitch' went off in ATC. This report is just to confirm we were in compliance with a TCASII RA. Flo approach and jax center concur with traffic RA.

Title: MDT HAS TCASII RA, RESPONDS. SNITCH ACTIVATES.

Narrative: WHILE IN CRUISE FLT, AT 10000 10 SE OF CTF, WE SIMULTANEOUSLY RECEIVED AN ATC ADVISORY OF TFC AT 10-11 O'CLOCK, UNCONFIRMED AT 9500 FT. OUR TCASII SHOWED MINUS 400. APPROX 1.5-2 SECONDS LATER, WE RECEIVED A 'CLB, CLB, CLB' RA. WE FOLLOWED THE RA AND CLBED TO APPROX 10350 IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE RA. WE THEN RECEIVED A 'CLR OF CONFLICT' MESSAGE AND RETURNED TO 10000 ON COURSE. APPARENTLY THE RA TOOK US OUT OF FLO AIRSPACE AND INTO JAX AIRSPACE. WE WERE ADVISED AT CLT (DEST) THAT THE 'SNITCH' WENT OFF IN ATC. THIS RPT IS JUST TO CONFIRM WE WERE IN COMPLIANCE WITH A TCASII RA. FLO APCH AND JAX CTR CONCUR WITH TFC RA.
