Aviation Standard Test Battery-E (ASTB E) Practice Test

In an aviation context, the term "carry on" is commonly understood as an instruction to resume work or duties. This phrase is often used by flight crews and other personnel to indicate that operations should continue as planned after a pause or delay. For example, if a flight is temporarily held due to weather or other circumstances, once the issue is resolved, the crew might say "carry on" to signal that they can proceed with boarding or takeoff. While the other options provide possible interpretations, they do not align with the standardized usage of "carry on" in aviation. Engaging in a drill, boarding an aircraft, or warning about excess luggage involves specific actions that are usually referred to by other terms in the aviation lexicon. Thus, the selection reflecting the resumption of duties is the most accurate representation of the term in this setting.
