Why is it then? Nearly every checklist I actually read is short enough to fit on a quarter of the page. On my fleet, a few different checklists fit on a single quarter section. Why would I need to unfold it to a half page? What is the desire to have them half fold other than thr 737 checklist holder? I've flown the 737, so I get that. This is an interesting thing to be bothered by lol.
I was wondering the same thing! Came from a mil background, so my view is limited.
Is quarter folding a faux pas of some kind? If so, that sounds like a very strange thing to consider a faux pas, especially since there are bigger fish to fry! Indeed, a very interesting thing to be bothered by.
Not once, ever, did I consciously feel bothered or upset by the checklist being folded in the way it is. Never ever thought about it before.
