Shannon Wells Posted June 4, 2011 at 02:19 AM Posted June 4, 2011 at 02:19 AM Uhhhh yes it is AEST, Australian eastern standard time, often abbreviated to EST, is UTC +10, so Zulu, or UTC or GMT + 10 hours is Sydney time ( unless it's daylight savings..! ) VATPAC DCRM, Former VATPAC Division Director and Former VATSIM Senior Supervisor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddasir Jamal 1190899 Posted June 4, 2011 at 02:26 AM Author Posted June 4, 2011 at 02:26 AM Yeah so what do I add +10 to To calculate the time, (Please give an example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrol Larrok 1140797 Posted June 4, 2011 at 02:32 AM Posted June 4, 2011 at 02:32 AM 10 hours ahead. So, 1000Z is 2000 for you, 2000Z is 0600 for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted June 4, 2011 at 02:36 AM Posted June 4, 2011 at 02:36 AM its +10. meaning you are 10 hours ahead of UTC. so take your local time, in 24 hour format. so for example 8pm EST = 2000 in 24 hour format since you are ahead of UTC, you subtract that time. for us in the US, we add instead since we are behind UTC. 2000 - 1000 = 1000 UTC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddasir Jamal 1190899 Posted June 4, 2011 at 02:39 AM Author Posted June 4, 2011 at 02:39 AM So that means that 1000 Zulu would equal 1000-1000=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted June 4, 2011 at 02:46 AM Posted June 4, 2011 at 02:46 AM no 8pm = 2000 in 24 hour format +10 (10 hours ahead of UTC) = 1000 (add 2 digits) 2000 - 1000 = 1000z another example 8pm = 2000 -4 (4 hours behind UTC) = 0400 2000 + 0400 = 0000z (the number 24 is not used, after 23 it goes to 0) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddasir Jamal 1190899 Posted June 4, 2011 at 03:05 AM Author Posted June 4, 2011 at 03:05 AM Oh I kinda get it. 1000z would equal 1000 + 1000 (because of +10 GMT) =2000 20:00 = 8 pm ^^Is this correct^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted June 4, 2011 at 03:23 AM Posted June 4, 2011 at 03:23 AM if you wanted to get local from zulu yes, if you wanted to get zulu from local, do the opposite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Harrison Posted June 4, 2011 at 03:28 AM Posted June 4, 2011 at 03:28 AM Muddasir, also it may be handy to remember that at 10am in Qld it is midnight UTC. So when the pub opens, it a new day. Sean C1/O P3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur Melton Posted December 7, 2011 at 09:29 PM Posted December 7, 2011 at 09:29 PM Hi,But if I was at Narita airport do I use Japanese local time to convert to Zulu or use my local time here in Australia,Thanks, still confused,Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Cullen Posted December 7, 2011 at 09:32 PM Posted December 7, 2011 at 09:32 PM Zulu time is the same everywhere in the world. 23:00z in Sydney is still 23:00z in Tokyo, so if you take 11 hours from the current Sydney time (Sydney is currently in daylight savings) you will have your UTC time.

Norman Blackburn Posted December 7, 2011 at 09:33 PM Posted December 7, 2011 at 09:33 PM Art, Zulu time doesnt change, no matter where you are in the world. Simply use that. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Harrison Posted December 7, 2011 at 10:13 PM Posted December 7, 2011 at 10:13 PM Funny. Wife is telling me its only a 4hr flight from UAE to Italy. Doesn't help when the airlines give you local times on flight schedule. Einstein was one the money with his theory of relativity.

Ryan Easte Posted November 1, 2015 at 10:18 AM Posted November 1, 2015 at 10:18 AM Hi all, returning vpilot. I'd like to share a pro tip some others may not be aware of to help with Time & Date issues. Depending on your version of windows (although most behave similarly you can add additional clocks rather simply. from there when you hover the mouse over the clock on your task bar you will see, as in my case "z time" set as an additional clock. Kind regards, Ryan Easte YPPH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Harrison Posted November 1, 2015 at 10:30 AM Posted November 1, 2015 at 10:30 AM Nice work. Is that in settings? Several versions ago, they had the Windows sidebar which was awesome with the ability to add all sorts of apps including time zones.
