Etzel Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Hi, short question on next saturdays session: In Europe the DST ended alreaday last weekend, so we are already at standardtime, which means in central Europe time is UTC+1. As I see in the "schedulde & teams" posting in North America the DST will end on the weekend Nov. 9th / 10th. So the next 2 Saturdays ( Nov. 2nd and Nov. 9th) the mission starting time remains at 6.p.m. UTC (thus 1 hour earlier in CET) and only with Nov. 16th we switch to 7.p.m. UTC! => is this correct?

US103_Tobin Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 It would be, except that the US changes back to standard time on Nov 3, not Nov 10. So the Nov 2 session will start at 1800 UTC (6:00 pm UTC). The Nov 9 session, and all sessions after that, will be at 1700 UTC (7:00 pm UTC). All sessions are always flown at 1400 (2:00 pm) Eastern Time zone, whatever the current time reference is there. Klaiber 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, ok... then I misinterpreted the Info: Week B1 (Saturday, November 9th) [end of daylight savings time] ....in the schedule post! Thanks for clarification!

Klaiber Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Sorry about the confusion. I was trying to say that the November 9th mission was on Standard time. I'll correct my note to make more sense. Etzel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Etzel Posted October 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 Thanks Klai, I think thats pretty clear now! Anyhow I thought it would be a good idea to post the question here for all participants readable to remind non-american pilots that mission starting time is now different for this (how it turns out: only one) week...

US103_Tobin Posted November 1, 2019 Report Share Posted November 1, 2019 And every year, many of us say we wish there was no such thing as daylight savings time! Vonrd 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
