Narrative:
While on initial decent towards kapa at the completion of a training flight; we received a TA. We maneuvered the aircraft to the north as the other aircraft was southbound. Once appropriate course was established; we resumed decent. However; the other aircraft then turned northwest in front of us and we received another TA. I elected to pull up and turn away aggressively while looking for the other aircraft. The student and I established visual contact and resumed our approach to kapa. It should be noted that we nearly violated the denver class B airspace as a result of the evasive maneuver. This was the third close call in one day! We did contact ATC to confirm that no airspace violation had occurred and they confirmed we did not enter the class B. It would be great if an alert area was charted in the areas southwest and southeast of kapa. Thanks and feel free to contact me any time.
