NATO Phonetic Alphabet Chart

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the NATO phonetic alphabet?

The NATO phonetic alphabet (NATO/ICAO spelling alphabet) is a system that replaces each letter with a fixed word so letters are not misheard over the phone or radio. A is read as Alfa, B as Bravo, and so on. It lets you reliably convey easily confused letters such as B and D, or M and N.

Which is correct, Alfa or Alpha?

The official ICAO/NATO spellings are Alfa and Juliett. They are spelled slightly differently from standard English so they are easy to read for non-English speakers too. This tool outputs these official spellings. In everyday use they are sometimes written as Alpha or Juliet.
