How We Write Our Guides
We base our charts on published standards, such as the ICAO radiotelephony spelling alphabet and the International Phonetic Association’s chart. When sources disagree, or a detail is uncertain, we say so instead of guessing. We review pages and correct them when we find an error.
Who This Site Is For
Our readers include students, call center teams, pilots in training, radio amateurs, dispatchers, teachers and language learners. Everything is written for beginners first, with extra detail for people who need it.
