Which code word corresponds to the letter V?

Which code word corresponds to the letter V?

• A. Uniform
• B. Victor
• C. Yankee
• D. Zulu

Answer: (B)

V is spoken as Victor in the aviation radiotelephony alphabet. This set uses a distinct word for each letter to prevent mishearing in noisy radio conditions. Uniform corresponds to U, Yankee to Y, and Zulu to Z, so the one for V is Victor. For example, when spelling a call sign or flight number that includes V, you would say Victor rather than just “V.”
