Narrative:
During takeoff on runway 27L, after liftoff, I noted a vehicle on the runway. Apparently, the runway had previously been closed, however, during my briefing from FSS, st petersburg, they failed to inform me of the closure, principally because the NOTAM regarding the closure, issued may/sat/89, reflected the relevant times as 0330 Z to 0600 Z instead of 0330 Z to 1000 Z (0600 local time). NOTAM issuing authorities should insure that NOTAMS are issued in zulu time. During runway closure periods, whether notamed or not, the airport authority should 'X' out and barricade the appropriate runway.

Title: FSS DID NOT GIVE THE RWY CLOSED IN BRIEFING BECAUSE OF THE TIME DESIGNATED AS ZULU CONVERTED TO LOCAL SHOWED THE RWY OPEN.
Narrative: DURING TKOF ON RWY 27L, AFTER LIFTOFF, I NOTED A VEHICLE ON THE RWY. APPARENTLY, THE RWY HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN CLOSED, HOWEVER, DURING MY BRIEFING FROM FSS, ST PETERSBURG, THEY FAILED TO INFORM ME OF THE CLOSURE, PRINCIPALLY BECAUSE THE NOTAM REGARDING THE CLOSURE, ISSUED MAY/SAT/89, REFLECTED THE RELEVANT TIMES AS 0330 Z TO 0600 Z INSTEAD OF 0330 Z TO 1000 Z (0600 LOCAL TIME). NOTAM ISSUING AUTHORITIES SHOULD INSURE THAT NOTAMS ARE ISSUED IN ZULU TIME. DURING RWY CLOSURE PERIODS, WHETHER NOTAMED OR NOT, THE ARPT AUTHORITY SHOULD 'X' OUT AND BARRICADE THE APPROPRIATE RWY.
