UTC is also known as aviation term?

• A. Local Time
• B. Greenwich Mean Time
• C. Zulu Time
• D. Pacific Time

Answer: (C)

In aviation, UTC is known as Zulu Time. The term comes from the NATO phonetic alphabet—the letter Z represents a zero offset from UTC—so all times used in flight plans, weather, logs, and ATC are tied to this universal reference. It stays the same year-round because UTC isn’t affected by daylight saving. Greenwich Mean Time is a related concept, but the aviation standard term used today is Zulu Time; Local Time or Pacific Time vary by location and DST, so they aren’t used as the universal reference in flight operations.
