Since we have time saving daylight now, does it mean the zulu time is now 4 hours ahead of EST time zone or does it remain 5 hours ahead of EST time zone???
Please advise.
Thanks,
Aharon

Zulu time never changes so when DST comes into effect you are now one hour closer to Zulu. So for EST you are correct in that it is Zulu -4 hours.
Thanks for answer!! I knew it would be four hour difference but looking at all vatsim airports' annoucements' wrong zulu time, I guess they forgot daylight saving time which almost fooled me into thinking it should be still 5 hour difference.

Dont' forget that Daylight savings time is not a universal thing - currently in the areas I know Canada and the US are on DST, but the UK and europe have not moved over yet - that is in a couple of weeks.
Which is shy Zulu time is such a wonderful thing, as it never varies!
