The basic information for this table is found in Randy Jacobson's work, "Time Zones for Earhart Radio Message Database."

From local to GMT
To determine how to get back to GMT time from a local time, always add the offsets given below to get GMT time.
From GMT to local
Subtract the value of the offset from GMT to get the local time.
Math reminders
  • When we add negative numbers, the result is the same as subtracting the absolute value of the number from the base.
0000 GMT + (-1) = 0000 - 0100 = 2300
  • When we subtract negative numbers, the result is the same as adding the absolute value of the number to the base.
0000 GMT - (-1) = 0000 + 0100 = 0100
Dateline
If your calculation is crossing the dateline, add a day if transiting east to west; subtract a day if the your calculation is transiting west to east.
In the case of their last flight, Earhart and Noonan took off at 1000 hours on 2 July in Lae, which was 0000 GMT on 2 July in Greenwich. After flying for 14 hours from west to east, the aircraft would pass the midnight hour from July 2 to July 3 with respect to Lae, but when it crossed the dateline, it would then be "back" on July 2nd.
Time Zone Conventions

The convention used in this table for Time Zone values is the opposite of the current UTC convention. To convert to the UTC convention, change all of the positive offsets to negative numbers and all of the negative offsets to positive numbers.
