===Aeronautical Code signals (QAA–QNZ; ICAO)=== {{Main|Aeronautical Code signals}} First defined in ICAO publication "Doc 6100-COM/504/1" and in "ICAO Procedures for Air Navigation Services, Abbreviations and Codes (PANS-ABC)" [Doc8400-4] (4th edition 1989), the majority of the Q-codes have fallen out of common use; for example today reports such as QAU ("I am about to jettison fuel") and QAZ ("I am flying in a storm") would be voice or computerised transmissions. But several remain part of the standard [[ICAO]] radiotelephony phraseology in aviation. These are also part of [[ACP-131|ACP131]], which lists all ITU-R Q-codes, without grouping them by aeronautical/marine/general use.<ref>{{cite web|title=List of Q-codes|url=http://www.kloth.net/radio/qcodes.php}}</ref> {| class="wikitable" |- ! !Question?
