Narrative:

We were descending via the KEKEE3 into day. We were level at 12;000 feet somewhere between brynn and kekee. It was a VFR day; planning on the visual to 6L. I was conducting [a line check]; we had completed our brief on what was expected and needed to be done for a successful visual approach. While in level flight at 12;000 feet we received a traffic advisory on the TCAS. The target was about 4 miles ahead and 400 feet above and descending towards us. Simultaneously columbus approach came on with a suggested heading of 320 immediately. I was pilot monitoring; I told the first officer (first officer) to turn; he thought I meant to continue the use of the auto pilot and heading mode to turn. I took the plane as the RA (resolution advisory) sounded and complied with the descend [command]; the target was above us on the TCAS at +200; also descending. While turning to the suggested heading I heard a bank angle call out. The RA continued below 10;000 feet; our speed exceeded 250 knots in response to meet the required descent rate. The conflicting target was still descending. I attempted to shallow the rate out once when it appeared we were clear; we again got a descend prompt from the RA. Once conflict was clear we proceeded on to complete a visual to 6L. I called columbus approach on the ground and asked what happened. They said cvg had a twin descending from the north that was VFR and not talking to anyone. Cvg said that the twin had us in sight. We never saw the traffic.

Title: CRJ-200 flight crew reported responding to a TCAS RA on approach to DAY airport.

Narrative: We were descending via the KEKEE3 into DAY. We were level at 12;000 feet somewhere between BRYNN and KEKEE. It was a VFR day; planning on the visual to 6L. I was conducting [a line check]; we had completed our brief on what was expected and needed to be done for a successful visual approach. While in level flight at 12;000 feet we received a traffic advisory on the TCAS. The target was about 4 miles ahead and 400 feet above and descending towards us. Simultaneously Columbus Approach came on with a suggested heading of 320 immediately. I was pilot monitoring; I told the FO (First Officer) to turn; he thought I meant to continue the use of the auto pilot and heading mode to turn. I took the plane as the RA (Resolution Advisory) sounded and complied with the descend [command]; the target was above us on the TCAS at +200; also descending.
