Aircraft; Company Policy; Procedure
Cleared visual 36L CLT. AP was engaged with shallow intercept. At 5;000 FT and about 10 miles out got TA and RA to descend. Complied with RA. Traffic was on localizer to 36C both aircraft appeared to be right where they were supposed to be. Tracking localizer. This is the third TCAS RA I have had between A/C approaching the center and west runways. It seems the separation between the runways in inadequate for the TCAS.
CRJ700 Captain experiences a TCAS RA during a visual approach to Runway 36L at CLT; caused by traffic on the localizer to Runway 36C. The RA descend command is complied with.
