The time change shafted me twice over last night..............Firstly, my night shift was an hour longer and then a customer aircraft went out an hour later due to the end of the summer flying program putting me two later in bed......... :(

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Gee! Ours isn't for another week! How many time-zones is that???
Or, how fast IS the world turning, to make a week's difference? I guess it's all relative, as Einstein used to say...

Have fun, fly high, far, and free!

The old Time Zone malarkey particularly gives us problems/difficulties/confusion in our "Multiplayer" activities where we all have to be aware of our flight chums various Time Zones, and their local times, for the get-together flights!

All the various Time Zone clocks for all my Flight Sim chum's local times appear at the bottom of my Pale Moon/Firefox Browser for instant reference....>>>
GMT, EST, CT, MT, PT, NZT.

Useful for determining who is up, and who is still in bed!... :lol: ...!

Paul...passing the time...(painlessly).... :mrgreen: ...!

G'day Fozzer and all
Some things just boggle the mind! For a UK example, Google "Mini Monet"!
As you might gather, I'm new to this forum. Your post prompted me to register so I could comment. I have been a user of Simviation for quite some years, however.

That was quick!
My reply was intended for your post on the blind 3 year old prodigy! But I'm well over 60 (sigh!)
I have now put it with that post but I'm not savvy enough to retract it from this thread - apologies!
