Which code word is used for the letter P?

• A. Kilo
• B. Papa
• C. Lima
• D. November

Answer: (B)

Radio communication uses the NATO phonetic alphabet to spell letters clearly in noisy or cross-language situations. Each letter has a unique code word so messages aren’t misheard. For the letter P, the code word is Papa. So when you need to spell a word containing P, you’d say “Papa” to represent that letter. The other options correspond to different letters: Kilo for K, Lima for L, November for N.
