Phonetic Alphabet

A pilot spelling the identifier containing M, P, and T on the radio should say

  • A.Mango, Piper, Tower
  • B.Mary, Peter, Tom
  • C.Mike, Papa, Tango
Correct answer

C. Mike, Papa, Tango

Why

M is Mike, P is Papa, and T is Tango in the aviation phonetic alphabet. Using personal names or aircraft terms instead creates exactly the confusion the standard words prevent.
