Narrative:
Approximately 1.5 mi final to runway 22 lga we received an RA, initially to reduce descent, then to climb. We complied with TCASII commands and executed a missed approach. Traffic was never sighted and was not known to lga tower. While being vectored for another approach, we received another RA to climb. Again, we followed TCASII commands. Traffic was spotted visually. TCASII command confirmed correct! Traffic was being worked by lga approach and was at our altitude of 3000 ft. Flight landed uneventfully. TCASII works!

Title: FLC OF AN LGT ACR ACFT EXECUTED A GAR AFTER RESPONDING TO A TCASII RA.
Narrative: APPROX 1.5 MI FINAL TO RWY 22 LGA WE RECEIVED AN RA, INITIALLY TO REDUCE DSCNT, THEN TO CLB. WE COMPLIED WITH TCASII COMMANDS AND EXECUTED A MISSED APCH. TFC WAS NEVER SIGHTED AND WAS NOT KNOWN TO LGA TWR. WHILE BEING VECTORED FOR ANOTHER APCH, WE RECEIVED ANOTHER RA TO CLB. AGAIN, WE FOLLOWED TCASII COMMANDS. TFC WAS SPOTTED VISUALLY. TCASII COMMAND CONFIRMED CORRECT! TFC WAS BEING WORKED BY LGA APCH AND WAS AT OUR ALT OF 3000 FT. FLT LANDED UNEVENTFULLY. TCASII WORKS!
