    Hello,

    as a matter of interst, what do aircraft do when the change time zones?

    In the real world of European lorries, the tachograph must stay at the time in

    its country of origin, regardless of the local time.

    In a simulator, changing the time would also change the clocks on the aircraft

    but I wonder if this is what real aircraft do?

    Thanks Nick

    That's a good question.

    I know in Australia there are 3 or 4 different time zones of which

    everyone changes their time accordingly to which State they are in. For eg

    Tasmania is 3hrs ahead of Western Australia. But will it change on the F.S time if

    I flew from Tas to W.A.

    I might have to try it.

    cheers

    I remember in the 80's being in Kenya in the Army, after doing patrols for a few days looking out for poachers we decided we would have a clean up near camp in the local river......one of the guides came out waving his arms and shouting for us to get out quickly......reluctantly we did as we were told..it works out that about 100 metres up river there were a load of crocs and we could've been there next feed, after that I was always a bit concerned about the river crossings.....

    Take your socks,  no clothing off, that would have scared them away.:lol:

    cheers

    Bad times.  End of jungle swamp patrol during the Malayan 'Emergency' covered in leeches.  Using cigarettes to touch the tips of their tails to make them withdraw their beaks so they could be brushed off.  It was always a mystery to us how they got through our jungle clothing.

    Just a hint, you had to ware more than socks.:D

    cheers
