Confused ! Mil air mon & Zulu time

[JLM7424]

Ok please tell me what i,am not understanding I,am using the See and avoid website if you look at my screenshot its waiting to start ! (WAITING TO START 08/18/2009 0630 - 08/18/2009 0900 Z )

I looked at conversion chart it does not make sense to me it's 10:58 am cdt
so what am i missunderstanding ?

Thanks Matt.

You have to understand that 0900 Z is Zulu time (aka GMT), which the military uses exclusively. So while an exercise might start at 0900 Z, that would be 0400 CDT (local time), so in short, unless you were up at 4am to listen to this event, you missed it.

For help dechipering time zones and such, visit this site:

timeanddate.com

You will find a list of time zones, live time, and conversion utilities to convert time zones to your local time zone.

Hope this helps you out some!

The official US time for the official Naval Observatory time. Pick your time zone or click UTC in the lower right for ZULU

The problem that still makes this difficult is you say i missed it then why would it say waiting to Start ?
after a zone is hot it usaully says pending (yellow ) or goes blue I thought anyway.

Perhaps the web page came from a cache rather than being current.
