Aviation runs on UTC, but crews and passengers think in local time. Convert between UTC and a local zone, and work out the local arrival time of a flight that crosses time zones, remembering the clock wraps at midnight.

This measures time arithmetic and conversion between local time and UTC, including crossing midnight and the date line. Flight plans, slots and logs all run on UTC, so confident time handling avoids real operational mistakes.
Convert the start time to UTC, add any flight time, then apply the destination offset. Work in 24-hour time and handle the wrap by adding or subtracting 24 whenever you cross midnight.
These use clean whole-hour offsets and ignore daylight saving, so you never have to guess a half-hour zone or a seasonal change. In the real world always check the current offset, because many countries shift their clocks.
