The Aviation Alphabet

In the airport world, pilots and air traffic controllers use a special alphabet to
communicate with each other over the radio. It is called a phonetic alphabet,
where words are used instead of letters to avoid any miscommunication. These
names are also used to identify taxiways (roads for airplanes) and aircraft call
signs.

A = Alpha H = Hotel O = Oscar V = Victor


B = Bravo I = India P = Papa W = Whiskey
C = Charlie J = Juliet Q = Quebec X = X-Ray
D = Delta K = Kilo R = Romeo Y = Yankee
E = Echo L = Lima S = Sierra Z = Zulu
F = Foxtrot M = Mike T = Tango
G = Golf N = November U = Uniform

Here’s some examples of how the phonetic


alphabet would be used between ATC and
a pilot:

Pilot:
“New Orleans Ground, Moisant Air 235
Alpha Bravo has cleared Runway 10 and
would like to taxi to the ramp.”

Air Traffic Control:


Moisant Air 235 Alpha Bravo, Taxi via
Taxiway Foxtrot and Echo to the ramp.”

Pilot:
Roger New Orleans Ground, Taxi via Taxiway Foxtrot and Echo to the ramp.”
