good to go

Prepared and cleared

Good to go means ready and prepared for what's next.

The phrase suggests all prerequisites have been met: Once you sign this form, you're good to go.

It can confirm operational status: The mechanic checked the engine and said we're good to go.

Originally military slang, now standard in casual speech for any situation where someone or something is cleared to proceed.
