Narrative

DSNDING INTO ONT; CA; TFC APPEARED ON OUR VSI/TRA INDICATOR APPROX 3 MI TO OUR R AND 300 FT BELOW OUR ALT (10000 FT). SOCAL APCH CLRED US TO MAINTAIN 8000 FT AND DSCNT WAS INITIATED. APCH ALSO GAVE US A VECTOR TO 180 DEGS WHICH TURNED US SLIGHTLY AWAY FROM THE TCASII TARGET. PASSING APPROX 9800 FT WE RECEIVED A CLB RA (COMMANDING 1500-2000 FT CLB) AND PREVIOUS TFC APPEARED ON VSI/TRA INDICATOR INSIDE 2 NM RANGE RING TO OUR R AT 200 FT BELOW OUR ALT. WE BEGAN CLB AND ADVISED SOCAL CTLR OF CLB AND REQUIREMENT TO COMPLY WITH RA. WE NEVER SAW THE TFC ALTHOUGH THE VISIBILITY WAS ABOUT 3 MI. THE CTLR STATED HE WAS TALKING TO 'BOTH ACFT' BUT WE WERE NEVER ADVISED OF TFC OTHER THAN JUST PRIOR TO THIS CONFLICT THE CTLR STATED THERE WAS TFC OVER BIG BEAR THAT HAD US IN SIGHT (WE THINK THE CTLR PROBABLY MISTAKENLY SAID BIG BEAR SINCE THAT AREA WAS BEHIND US). FOLLOWING COMPLIANCE WITH TCASII DSNDED NORMALLY FOR APCH/LNDG. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 347835: MAX ALT REACHED IN CLB WAS APPROX 10400 FT.
