Narrative:
Cleared for takeoff runway 4, lndgs on runway 29 and runway 4R. SID required right turn to 060 degrees at 100 ft for noise abatement. In turn, first officer flying the aircraft, saw a plane low at 1 O'clock position. Aircraft had apparently executed a missed on runway 4R. Tower then told us to maintain runway heading, then further left to 030 degrees. Got TCASII climb command, red band up to 4000+ FPM. We came left and event was over. In retrospect, we should not have flown the SID as published with traffic to runway 4R, but rather flown runway heading, but that was not our clearance. We had a left crosswind 330 degrees at 17 KTS. Had the aircraft executed the missed higher, the separation distance could have been much closer.
Original NASA ASRS Text
Title: ON INITIAL TKOF EWR RWY 4L, B757 FLC EXECUTE TCASII RA AS FO OBSERVES ACFT ON GAR BELOW AND TO THEIR R.
Narrative: CLRED FOR TKOF RWY 4, LNDGS ON RWY 29 AND RWY 4R. SID REQUIRED R TURN TO 060 DEGS AT 100 FT FOR NOISE ABATEMENT. IN TURN, FO FLYING THE ACFT, SAW A PLANE LOW AT 1 O'CLOCK POS. ACFT HAD APPARENTLY EXECUTED A MISSED ON RWY 4R. TWR THEN TOLD US TO MAINTAIN RWY HDG, THEN FURTHER L TO 030 DEGS. GOT TCASII CLB COMMAND, RED BAND UP TO 4000+ FPM. WE CAME L AND EVENT WAS OVER. IN RETROSPECT, WE SHOULD NOT HAVE FLOWN THE SID AS PUBLISHED WITH TFC TO RWY 4R, BUT RATHER FLOWN RWY HDG, BUT THAT WAS NOT OUR CLRNC. WE HAD A L XWIND 330 DEGS AT 17 KTS. HAD THE ACFT EXECUTED THE MISSED HIGHER, THE SEPARATION DISTANCE COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH CLOSER.
