AIP GEN 2. GENERAL AND METEOROLOGICAL ABBREVIATIONS
Abbreviations marked “#” may be spoken using the constituent letters rather than the phonetic alphabet.
# lMC Instrument Meteorological Conditions
AIP GEN 3-4 Communication Services
4.9.1 Radiotelephony pronunciation of the Phonetic Alphabet shall be as follows:
I INDIA
M MIKE
C CHARLIE
note the bolded and underlined 'may' in the 1st quote as opposed to the bolded and underlined 'shall' in the 2nd quote from AIP.
Eventhough saying "India Mike Charlie" was not required, it was not wrong.
