The aural message that indicates you may return to the assigned altitude is:

• A. CLEAR OF CONFLICT
• B. RA WARNING
• C. WHAT IF
• D. TRAFFIC ADVISORY

Answer: (A)

When a collision threat is resolved, you hear that you’re allowed to resume your flight path and altitude. The aural message that tells you you may return to the assigned altitude is “clear of conflict.” This signals that the avoidance maneuver is no longer necessary and you can go back to your previously assigned altitude, assuming ATC clearance allows. The other phrases aren’t about resuming altitude: a resolution advisory that ends still leaves you in a situation where you must stay on guard and follow any remaining instructions, a “What if” scenario isn’t an in-service clearance to change altitude, and a traffic advisory simply alerts you to nearby traffic without providing the clearance to return to the assigned altitude.
