Phonetic alphabet

The code words used on the radio to spell out letters so they cannot be misheard:

Alfa, Bravo, Charlie, Delta, Echo, Foxtrot, Golf, Hotel, India, Juliett, Kilo, Lima, Mike, November, Oscar, Papa, Quebec, Romeo, Sierra, Tango, Uniform, Victor, Whiskey, X-ray, Yankee, Zulu.

You use it for callsigns, taxiways, waypoints and anything else you spell, e.g. D-EABC becomes “Delta Echo Alfa Bravo Charlie”. Note the ICAO spellings Alfa and Juliett.
