About this deck

Learn the 26 ICAO/NATO radiotelephony spelling-alphabet code words in both directions, with 52 focused cards and compact English pronunciation cues.

What this deck covers

  • Letter → code word: recall the official spelling word for each letter A–Z.
  • Code word → letter: identify the letter represented by each spelling word.
  • Official spellings: use Alfa, Juliett, and X-ray, alongside the other 23 standard code words.
  • Interleaved order: opposite directions of the same pair stay well apart, so one card doesn't reveal the other.

The deck covers letters A–Z only. It excludes digits, procedural words, Morse code, national variants, trivia, logos, and examination material.

Spellings were checked against NATO's history of the phonetic alphabet and ICAO Annex 10, Volume II. Pronunciation cues follow NATO's English-pronunciation poster.

The underlying letter-to-code-word facts, official spellings, and source pronunciation forms aren't claimed as original. The CC0 label applies only to the independently written prompts, answer formatting, metadata, and ordering, to the extent those rights exist. No source prose, tables, logos, or third-party media were copied.

This is an independent, unofficial educational deck by Flashcards Open Source App. It isn't affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced by NATO, ICAO, or their member states. The NATO and ICAO names identify the referenced standard only.
