The answer lies with a linguistic tool older than the jet age: it is based on the phonetic alphabet. Standardized codewords like Alfa, Bravo, and Charlie ensure clarity and safety for pilots and air traffic control, even under pressure or poor radio conditions. This article explores why the phonetic alphabet is used in aviation,…
