Quite poor when the operational checklist for an airliner from startup to shutdown literally fits on a single-sided A4 page. The expanded checklist is of course within easy reach, but is only used for abnormal procedures.
Spot on, I spent many years flying single pilot IFR Ops, always used a flip out checklist, but it was a list, not a novel. I think we are at risk of over striving to "protect" ourselves by including every possible item into a
check list. I was always taught that they are for the guidance of wise men and the obeyance of fools.
