International Phonetic Alphabet.

An alphabet is a radio code used by radio , which is to represent each letter of the alphabet by a whole word, chosen so acrophonic (for the initial letter shown). Thus, when a word is spelled, each letter is replaced by the corresponding word, so there is no ambiguity between similar sounds (like "m" and "No", "p" and "b"). Such ambiguities may in fact occur because of pests and interference that radio transmissions are often subjected, and that the recipient does not see the speaker and therefore has no visual cue to help remove any ambiguity.

The words chosen in each alphabet radio differ from one country to another or from one organization to another. However, one of them, "said NATO phonetic alphabet (as generalized by NATO ), is recognized on an international basis by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and in the context of aeronautical communications by the Organization of International Civil Aviation (ICAO).

The radio scripts are often called phonetic alphabets , but should not be confused with the systems of phonetic transcription (such as the International Phonetic Alphabet ) which are also well known.

The second component of the code word of each item is its name in English. In the aviation world, the numbers are spelled out one after another in this form, with the exception of 9 (nine), pronounced "niner". Thus the frequency 118,975 MHz to pronounce: "(One) One Eight (Decimal) Five Seven Niner," the first 1 being sometimes omitted since the frequency is any way in the aviation band. If the first 1 is pronounced sometimes as the "Decimal" is omitted.
