Frequently Asked Questions

What is the NATO phonetic alphabet?

The NATO phonetic alphabet assigns code words to each letter of the alphabet to prevent miscommunication. For example, A is "Alpha", B is "Bravo", C is "Charlie", etc. It's used in aviation, military, and communications.

Why do we need a phonetic alphabet?

It helps avoid confusion between similar-sounding letters like "B" and "D", "M" and "N", or "S" and "X". It's especially useful in noisy environments or over radio/phone communications.
