CONTINUE FLIGHT
Self Explanatory
I disagree that this is self explanatory, because in the past in certain situations e.g. Shuttling offshore, this was interpreted in a wide variety of ways in my experience. From carrying on with multiple landings and takeoffs in the planned route to going back to base immediately regardless of the route.

A good definition in my view is:-

CONTINUE FLIGHT

If the fault persists or returns after clearing, the decision to continue as planned or to take alternative action shall consider:

a. Whether the fault can be deferred under the MEL for a subsequent takeoff
b. The operational implications of being AOG after the next landing
c. The implications of further deterioration of the affected system

If the fault clears, the flight may continue as planned without restriction.
