Narrative:
While doing the auburn FMS transition (experimental) I was at 10000 ft. While crossing the auburn intersection traffic (VFR) was called out at 12 O'clock but I was in a right turn and could not see traffic. As the aircraft rolled out northbound the TCASII RA sounded and the controller simultaneously called turn left now! I overrode the controls and pitched up and turned left and a moment later the traffic passed underneath the aircraft. I feel it was inappropriate to have ATC allow GA aircraft to pass 500 ft under a known point where experimental arrs procedures are in progress. The flight continued to landing without further incident. I think the distance between aircraft was about 400 ft, (maybe 300 ft) when at the closest point.

Title: FLC OF LGT TOOK EVASIVE ACTION IN RESPONSE TO TCASII AND ATC TURN INSTRUCTION. NMAC RESULTED.
Narrative: WHILE DOING THE AUBURN FMS TRANSITION (EXPERIMENTAL) I WAS AT 10000 FT. WHILE XING THE AUBURN INTXN TFC (VFR) WAS CALLED OUT AT 12 O'CLOCK BUT I WAS IN A R TURN AND COULD NOT SEE TFC. AS THE ACFT ROLLED OUT NBOUND THE TCASII RA SOUNDED AND THE CTLR SIMULTANEOUSLY CALLED TURN L NOW! I OVERRODE THE CTLS AND PITCHED UP AND TURNED L AND A MOMENT LATER THE TFC PASSED UNDERNEATH THE ACFT. I FEEL IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE TO HAVE ATC ALLOW GA ACFT TO PASS 500 FT UNDER A KNOWN POINT WHERE EXPERIMENTAL ARRS PROCS ARE IN PROGRESS. THE FLT CONTINUED TO LNDG WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I THINK THE DISTANCE BTWN ACFT WAS ABOUT 400 FT, (MAYBE 300 FT) WHEN AT THE CLOSEST POINT.
