This album of digital flashcards and quizzes makes memorising the ICAO phonetic alphabet* simple! It’s the most widely used system for clear communication over the phone and radio.

What’s it for?

When the voice channel is unstable or noisy, the recipient of the information may misinterpret the transmitted audio. To avoid confusion, various phonetic alphabets were invented. In them, each letter is transmitted by a code word, for example, "Andrew" for "A", "Boris" for "B", and so on.

During the early days of commercial aviation, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) researched and selected words that are clear and distinct when transmitted, and that are easy to pronounce by speakers of various languages. “Alpha” for “A”, “Bravo” for “B”, and so on. You may have heard it in films like Top Gun or Transformers.

It’s a useful resource for anyone who wants to be prepared for any situation. Essential for military personnel, first responders, and air traffic controllers. A perfect gift for those that dream of pursuing careers like this!
