About this document
Aviation Alphabet for Clear Communication by triya_vadgama is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Pilots use a standardized aviation alphabet when communicating by radio to avoid confusion between similar-sounding letters. They substitute standard words like "November" for letters to ensure messages are understood clearly. For example, a pilot contacting the Lindbergh Field control tower in San Diego would say "Lindbergh tower, this is November-Three-Niner-Seven-Seven-Charlie" instead of spelling out the tail number to avoid confusion between numbers and letters over the radio.
