Go Ahead

A radio communication phrase meaning "proceed with your message" or "I am ready to receive your transmission." ATC or another station uses "go ahead" to indicate they are listening and the pilot may transmit. It is not an instruction to take any flight action and should not be confused with a clearance or approval.
