A-Z of course. Letters can be numbers, too. I often need to count from
0-F instead of 0-9.


When are letters numbers?

When you count in hexadecimal. The hexadecimal digits are 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
9 A B C D E F

When did Canada begin using hexadecimal for aircraft registrations?

They didn't. You asked when a letter could be a number. I answered.

Abandoning context in the process.

Generally in any base base 10. Base 36 for instance uses the digits 0
to Z - so every letter of the alphabet is a number.

Hex is very common (0-F), but we do have one system that uses base 36.
Base 64 encoding is also common (in which case 'a' is a different number
to 'A')

In the base that Canada uses for aircraft registration, when are letters
numbers?
