FSS called the FBO looking for a rental Warrior that wasn't due for at
least 15 minutes from Martha's Vineyard. Right after the confused
line guy hung up the phone, the Warrior entered the pattern. The line
guy called him on the radio and told him FSS was looking for him.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes...


Could a DST glitch explain it?

Let's see: 5 pm is now 4 pm.

If they (FSS) didn't "fall back" ...then you'd be an hour late every
flight. So they're not calling 15 minutes early, but rather 45 minutes
after the clock on their wall says you should be down.

Someone missed the 10-30-05 clock memo, that's all.

Whenever I filed a flight plan (probably twice in the past 6 years?), it was
in GMT/Zulu/Universal time and not in local time. That's when my dual
timezone watch comes in handy...
