In the phonetic alphabet ICAO has adopted for aviation radio communications, which letter does the word "November" represent?
Why: The FAA study guide directs pilots to use the ICAO phonetic alphabet to identify their aircraft, and its own worked example confirms the mapping: the registration "N123AB" is "pronounced in aviation terms by use of the phonetic alphabet as, 'November One-Two-Three-Alpha-Bravo,'" with "November" standing for the aircraft's "N" registration prefix.
Confuses November (N) with M ("Mike" in the phonetic alphabet), an easy mix-up given the letters' adjacency.
Confuses November (N) with W ("Whiskey" in the phonetic alphabet), likely from the visual similarity between N and W.
