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.

What are Australia doing on BST?



Just got to wait a week or so now for the Americas (and the forums) to catch up now.


Oh wait, they already did, how odd. Usually the forums are at least a week behind changing between GMT and BST... :P

Fair enough, but it's now spring for them. Are they coming off daylight saving or going on?

Sorry. But if you're going to say that the australians are putting their clocks back in spring then I want to know why. ;D

Fair enough.
I got my information from the following website. You need to scroll half way down for OZ. It is only a couple of states that observe daylight saving time??

As for our winter, thier spring, I don't know and it does not say.

All the countries/states marked in yellow on this map observe DST.

I assume that those in the Southern Hemisphere are now on DST or Summer Time so put their clocks forward when ours in the Northern Hemisphere go back.
