Narrative:

After being cleared to intercept the localizer at 5000 ft and approximately 19-20 DME for ILS to runway 23L at cle airport, we received a TA on our TCASII. I looked out to find the traffic and spotted an rj closing in on us from a dogleg heading to the localizer course. The rj reported an RA. Approach control gave us a vector left to 150 degrees. The rj passed off our right at our altitude. It appeared to be 2-3 mi and closing rapidly. We were vectored back around the pattern for an uneventful landing. Supplemental information from acn 505245: while the rj questioned approach control about us we took evasive action away from the rj to avoid a conflict. While we were turning away approach control realized that there was a conflict and gave us a heading to fly.

Title: AN MLT CREW RECEIVE A TCASII TA WHILE ON A LONG ILS FINAL.

Narrative: AFTER BEING CLRED TO INTERCEPT THE LOC AT 5000 FT AND APPROX 19-20 DME FOR ILS TO RWY 23L AT CLE ARPT, WE RECEIVED A TA ON OUR TCASII. I LOOKED OUT TO FIND THE TFC AND SPOTTED AN RJ CLOSING IN ON US FROM A DOGLEG HDG TO THE LOC COURSE. THE RJ RPTED AN RA. APCH CTL GAVE US A VECTOR L TO 150 DEGS. THE RJ PASSED OFF OUR R AT OUR ALT. IT APPEARED TO BE 2-3 MI AND CLOSING RAPIDLY. WE WERE VECTORED BACK AROUND THE PATTERN FOR AN UNEVENTFUL LNDG. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 505245: WHILE THE RJ QUESTIONED APCH CTL ABOUT US WE TOOK EVASIVE ACTION AWAY FROM THE RJ TO AVOID A CONFLICT. WHILE WE WERE TURNING AWAY APCH CTL REALIZED THAT THERE WAS A CONFLICT AND GAVE US A HDG TO FLY.
