Pilots use a phonetic alphabet when communicating with air traffic control towers to clearly spell out letters and important combinations of letters. Each letter of the alphabet is assigned a code word to standardize communication globally. The document then provides the full aviation alphabet and encourages encoding a message and spelling a name phonetically using the code words.
