Frequently asked questions

Why is the NATO alphabet used instead of just saying letters?
Many letters sound alike over a phone or radio, like B and D, so each letter is assigned a distinct word to avoid confusion during verbal communication.
Does this include numbers?
Yes, digits 0 through 9 are included using their standard spoken words, such as Zero and Niner-style conventions used in aviation are simplified here to plain number words.
