AERONAUTICAL ALPHABET GUIDE
Did you know that pilots use an Aeronautical Alphabet to pronounce letters?
This is to avoid confusion and misunderstanding between the pilots and the air traffic control, as some letters sound a lot like each other! For example, if you pronounce 'B' and 'P' and 'D', they sound very similar, especially when there is some background noise on the radio frequency!
