Questions fréquentes

"Niner" distinguishes 9 from the German word "Nein" (no) when communicating with non-English speakers. Aviation is international; a misheard "nine" as "no" could be catastrophic. Similarly, altitude "FL390" is spoken "flight level three niner zero" not "three ninety." The extra syllable and unique sound prevent life-threatening miscommunication.
Yes — they are the same code set. ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) adopted the NATO phonetic alphabet as its standard in 1956, and they have been synchronized ever since. Some older national military organizations historically used different codewords (e.g., the old RAF used Able, Baker, Charlie), but all NATO members and ICAO member states now use the unified alphabet.
