Narrative:
After landing from a practice flight, I learned that I had been operating in the vicinity of an arrival route to the charlotte, nc, airport. I was well aware of the existence of the charlotte class B airspace, and stayed well clear. However, I was not familiar with TCASII and did not realize that my high rates of climb and descent could possibly trigger an alert in a TCASII equipped aircraft. I am filing this report just in case an aircraft so equipped filed a near miss report. The visibility was unlimited and I saw several other 'airline' type aircraft, but at no time was there a possible conflict.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: PLT OF AN SMT SEL HIGH PERFORMANCE ACFT PRACTICING AEROBATICS NEAR A BUSY ARR RTE MAY HAVE CAUSED TCASII ALERTS.
Narrative: AFTER LNDG FROM A PRACTICE FLT, I LEARNED THAT I HAD BEEN OPERATING IN THE VICINITY OF AN ARR RTE TO THE CHARLOTTE, NC, ARPT. I WAS WELL AWARE OF THE EXISTENCE OF THE CHARLOTTE CLASS B AIRSPACE, AND STAYED WELL CLR. HOWEVER, I WAS NOT FAMILIAR WITH TCASII AND DID NOT REALIZE THAT MY HIGH RATES OF CLB AND DSCNT COULD POSSIBLY TRIGGER AN ALERT IN A TCASII EQUIPPED ACFT. I AM FILING THIS RPT JUST IN CASE AN ACFT SO EQUIPPED FILED A NEAR MISS RPT. THE VISIBILITY WAS UNLIMITED AND I SAW SEVERAL OTHER 'AIRLINE' TYPE ACFT, BUT AT NO TIME WAS THERE A POSSIBLE CONFLICT.
