I had observed many E-mails in my Inbox, but thought a reaction may be
pre-mature.
To interpret AM/PM on 12-hour clock is a matter of tuning one's mind; or
SIMPLY add "12" to position at 'hour hand' after the HOUR - say, when the
hour hand is between 4 & 5, it is easy to comprehend it would be !6:00 &
17:00 in the evening (if it is evening) - and time after the hour is as we
read, after the hour.
To 'learn' minutes after the hour in DECIMAL TIME after the hour, *just
mutiply 'minutes after the hour' by 1.67 (or mutiply by 5 & divide the
result by 3), as a school child does. This is decimal minutes after the
hour. This is for any CLOCK be it on walls, clock towers or telephones, so
long as this is a working clock!

I guess that I don't normally include passenger flying as "aviation". As a
matter of fact, I have seen 24-hour clock time used on flight annunciator
boards at LAX. It depends on the carrier and country.
As aviation, I mean ALL operations of aircraft both domestic and
international
use 24-hour time. All FAA operations are conducted in UTC, to be more
specific, as that is the ICAO standard. This is so that there is a common
time
across the globe for all aviation operations. Internally, I believe that
domestic carriers use UTC exclusively but I could be wrong in some cases.
When
one has to operate across multiple time zones, UTC makes a lot of sense.

The term "aviation" usually means "pilots and controllers" and not
departure
boards...
