Hi Mono. The pprune clock-meister is off this week so it has not gone forward.
Instead go to your User control panel then look for Edit options then simply select CET time from the pull down on the clock menu.
Hey presto, right time.....(I think)

Nooo... not 'Control Panel' but 'User Control Panel'. Scan up the page to where it says PPRuNe Forums - just below is a small menu. Click on 'user cp' then 'edit options' and at the bottom of your options list is the time setting. Select 'CET' (Central European Time) and you'll be sorted.

I'm just glad to see PPRuNe has caught up with me. I bought my Seiko in 1978 and it's been on GMT ever since. Since last weekend, I automatically make the adjustment when I look at it.
Gets demned confusing when I go to an Ops room with a Zulu clock in it though.

The relevant columns of my logbook (an oldish Airtour commercial logbook) are headed
Departure G.M.T (UTC)
Arrival G.M.T (UTC)
A Pooleys PPL logbook I take around with me before copying up later has columns headed...
t/o (GMT)
land (GMT)
And although I don't have it to hand, I'm pretty sure my old RAF issue logbooks from my mis-spent (comparative) youth say something similar also.
So I have always used Zulu. The only thing I ever complete in local time is airfield sheets which are often in local.
What I've never been quite sure of when significant distances from the UK, is whether the DATE is local or as at Greenwich?

Always Greenwich date if that's the time you're logging.
Example:
Flight, in Sydney, in January. (Aust EST = GMT + 11)
T/o @ 0600L on January 1st.
Logged as
T/o 1900Z on December 31st.
If you logged that as 1900Z January 1st, it hadn't happened yet
