Phonetic Alphabet

The phonetic alphabet, or "spelling alphabet", replaces letters and numbers with code words. The alphabet is used by pilots and air traffic control when they are talking over the radio to ensure that voice communications are understandable. Certain combinations of letters and numbers can be hard to understand over the radio, particularly when spoken by non-native speakers or people with unfamiliar accents. An international system like this is essential for airspace safety.
