Subject: Static GK (General Knowledge)

Book: General Time Knowledge

Zulu Time is another term for Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) commonly used in aviation and military contexts to provide a standard reference free from local time adjustments. In these fields, every minute counts, and mixing up local variations can lead to severe scheduling or operational errors. Pilots file flight plans referencing Zulu Time, ensuring consistency across air traffic control zones. Military units also rely on this common clock to synchronize missions across continents. Learning about Zulu Time helps clarify how global organizations maintain precision in critical operations.
