Which term represents the letter T in the aviation radiotelephony alphabet?

• A. Kilo
• B. Tango
• C. Quebec
• D. Romeo

Answer: (B)

In aviation radiotelephony, letters are spoken using standardized code words to make each character clear over the radio in noisy or stressful conditions. For the letter T, the code word is Tango. This choice helps listeners distinguish T from similar-sounding letters and reduces miscommunication during clearances, coordinates, and calls. The other terms listed correspond to different letters—Kilo for K, Quebec for Q, and Romeo for R—demonstrating that each letter has its own distinct code word.
