EHM-1459 Jonny:
What is zulu time; departure, arrival or GMT?

Thanks a Million,
Jonny

EHM-0948 Bruno:
ZULU time is GMT time. It is the time refering to Greenwich Meridian Time time.

"Greenwich, England has been the home of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) since 1884.  GMT is sometimes called Greenwich Meridian Time because it is measured from the Greenwich Meridian Line at the Royal Observatory  in Greenwich. " (Equals to ZULU)

Regards,

EHM-1538 Jen:
My understanding is that Zulu time is basically the same as GMT.  Zulu refers to the GMT time zone.  You then "step" alphabetically from time zone to time zone as you get further away from GMT.  For example, in the U.S. the time zones are Romeo (Eastern), Sierra (Central), Tango (Mountain), Uniform (Pacific),  Victor (Alaska), Whiskey (Hawaii).

Hopefully I'm explaining it correctly!!
