Which term means 'authorized to proceed'?

Which term means 'authorized to proceed'?

• A. Go Ahead
• B. Cleared
• C. Affirmative
• D. Break

Answer: (B)

Authorization to proceed is conveyed by the term cleared. In flight operations, once the appropriate authority reviews the plan, airspace status, weather, and system readiness, they issue a clearance to proceed. Cleared is the formal signal that you have permission to begin or continue the action, and it aligns with established communications protocols. The other phrases don’t carry the same formal authorization: go ahead is more informal and can be ambiguous; affirmative simply means yes, but doesn’t explicitly grant permission to act; break is an instruction to stop or disengage.
