Who should be notified as soon as possible after an RA is resolved?

Notifying ATC as soon as the RA is resolved is essential because ATC must stay informed about events that could affect the safety and flow of traffic. An RA indicates a potential loss of separation with another aircraft, so even though you’ve returned to a safe flight path, ATC needs to know what happened, what changes you made (such as altitude or heading), and your current position. This allows controllers to update the traffic picture, issue any necessary instructions to maintain separation, and coordinate with other aircraft if needed. Ground crew or an aircraft manufacturer aren’t involved in this immediate flight-deck communication, and while a supervisor may review the event later, the priority during flight is to keep ATC informed so airspace safety and efficiency aren’t compromised.
