Closing the Curtain

[SwissAviator]

I heard somewhere that at NJA the policy is not to close the cockpit curtain/door? is this true, and if so can anyone tell me what the reasoning behind this would be. Do other Fracs have the same policy?

Thanks

why do you need to close it?

Some do -- some don't

My experience is about 95% of the NJA pilots don't close the curtain. I have probably had 3 or 4 who did, not counting those who, during a night flight, said they would close the curtain before landing.

I'll see 2 of you tomorrow!!

I close it at night to cut down on the light. I close it when flying west to keep the sun out of the owners face. I close it when the owners/card holders have been rude to me or my fellow crew members. I close it when I eat my crew meal. I close it when I'm tired of spending 14 hours of my life under the prying/judging eyes of laymen.

There's nothing in print that says a crew cannot close the curtain.
