Narrative:

The captain was pilot flying on flight abc from klga to mynn. Descending into nassau, we received a TCASII RA requiring a climb. ATC (nassau approach) had advised the other aircraft involved (type unknown) of our position and he replied that he had visual contact with us. ATC then instructed the other air carrier to maintain visual separation with us. ATC then advised us of the traffic and that he would maintain visual seperation with us. Neiher the captain nor one ever had visual contact with the other aircraft. A few moments later, while descending through approximately 5000 ft MSL, we received the RA. The other aircraft (who was supposed to be maintaining visual separation with us) passed below and to the left of us. Minimum vertical separation was about 500 ft and horizontal within 1/2 mi. The TCASII RA instructed a climb at a minimum rate of about 2000 FPM. The captain (PF) disengaged the autoplt and climbed the aircraft to comply with the TCASII RA. At about 6500 ft the RA ceased and the PF reduced climb to level and began descent. RA occurred again as the other aircraft passed below us. I reported the RA and the fact that we were climbing to ATC and the controller advised that the other aircraft was maintaining visual separation from us. After event a normal descent, approach and landing were made at mynn. Passenger were advised over PA describing need for climb.

Title: B767-300 FLC HAS TCASII RA DURING APCH TO MYNN.

Narrative: THE CAPT WAS PLT FLYING ON FLT ABC FROM KLGA TO MYNN. DSNDING INTO NASSAU, WE RECEIVED A TCASII RA REQUIRING A CLB. ATC (NASSAU APCH) HAD ADVISED THE OTHER ACFT INVOLVED (TYPE UNKNOWN) OF OUR POS AND HE REPLIED THAT HE HAD VISUAL CONTACT WITH US. ATC THEN INSTRUCTED THE OTHER ACR TO MAINTAIN VISUAL SEPARATION WITH US. ATC THEN ADVISED US OF THE TFC AND THAT HE WOULD MAINTAIN VISUAL SEPERATION WITH US. NEIHER THE CAPT NOR ONE EVER HAD VISUAL CONTACT WITH THE OTHER ACFT. A FEW MOMENTS LATER, WHILE DSNDING THROUGH APPROX 5000 FT MSL, WE RECEIVED THE RA. THE OTHER ACFT (WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MAINTAINING VISUAL SEPARATION WITH US) PASSED BELOW AND TO THE L OF US. MINIMUM VERT SEPARATION WAS ABOUT 500 FT AND HORIZ WITHIN 1/2 MI. THE TCASII RA INSTRUCTED A CLB AT A MINIMUM RATE OF ABOUT 2000 FPM. THE CAPT (PF) DISENGAGED THE AUTOPLT AND CLBED THE ACFT TO COMPLY WITH THE TCASII RA. AT ABOUT 6500 FT THE RA CEASED AND THE PF REDUCED CLB TO LEVEL AND BEGAN DSCNT. RA OCCURRED AGAIN AS THE OTHER ACFT PASSED BELOW US. I RPTED THE RA AND THE FACT THAT WE WERE CLBING TO ATC AND THE CTLR ADVISED THAT THE OTHER ACFT WAS MAINTAINING VISUAL SEPARATION FROM US. AFTER EVENT A NORMAL DSCNT, APCH AND LANDING WERE MADE AT MYNN. PAX WERE ADVISED OVER PA DESCRIBING NEED FOR CLIMB.
