I don't believe you are off course at all. ZT is your geographical position time. Zulu time when I was growing up was mainly a military term and when I was flying we used Zulu time in position reports. (We would cross many Zones a flight so we would use GMT but call it Z). I believe it was named Zulu before the current name change (UTC). One letter instead of three. ----- Original Message ----- From: Jim Laskey To: NAVIGATION-L@XXX.XXX Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2001 11:29 AM Subject: ZT As the rankest of amateurs I have a simple question, the answer to which has puzzled me. ZT, in my reading, seems sometimes to refer to Zone Time, which I interpret to mean the local zone time of my geographical position. But elsewhere ZT seems to mean Zulu Time, which appears to mean time at Greenwich or UTC. I would much appreciate someone explaining where I've gotten "off course" on this subject. Thanks Jim Laskey
