Which code word corresponds to the letter P?

Which code word corresponds to the letter P?

• A. Lima
• B. Parker
• C. Polaris
• D. Papa

Answer: (D)

In radio and aviation clarity, each letter has a distinct spoken code word to prevent miscommunication. For the letter P, the official code word is Papa, so you’d say “Papa” to spell P. Lima is the code word for L, not P, and Parker and Polaris aren’t part of the current standard alphabet, so they aren’t used to spell P. This mapping helps ensure letters are understood correctly in noisy or remote communication.
