Narrative:

We departed rno and were established on the llc 207 degree radial, 63 DME when we were asked to stop our climb at 12000 ft. We noticed a TCASII target at our 2 O'clock position, 800 ft above us and descending. The aircraft continued its descent and we were forced to turn right off the airway to avoid a possible collision. Our TCASII was giving us an RA and departure also instructed us to make the immediate right turn to avoid the other aircraft.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: POTENTIAL CONFLICT LTSS BY ACR MLG WITH OPPOSITE DIRECTION DSNDING TFC. DSCNT TOWARDS OCCUPIED ALT.

Narrative: WE DEPARTED RNO AND WERE ESTABLISHED ON THE LLC 207 DEG RADIAL, 63 DME WHEN WE WERE ASKED TO STOP OUR CLB AT 12000 FT. WE NOTICED A TCASII TARGET AT OUR 2 O'CLOCK POS, 800 FT ABOVE US AND DSNDING. THE ACFT CONTINUED ITS DSCNT AND WE WERE FORCED TO TURN R OFF THE AIRWAY TO AVOID A POSSIBLE COLLISION. OUR TCASII WAS GIVING US AN RA AND DEP ALSO INSTRUCTED US TO MAKE THE IMMEDIATE R TURN TO AVOID THE OTHER ACFT.
