1.                       General note: for this unit
1.1.1              Applicants for a multi-crew certified aircraft type rating are required to satisfy the knowledge standards specified for the ATPL of the same aircraft category, that are relevant to the operation of the aircraft. The following knowledge standards may not be relevant for all aircraft type ratings and can be ignored if not applicable to an aircraft type.

2.1.3              Apply MEL and CDL, where applicable.
2.1.4              Determine the effects of ADs, ASB/SB where pilot action may be required, as applicable to type.
2.1.5              Aware of licensing obligations for variants, where applicable.

3.                       Weight and balance
3.1.1              Calculate CG for aircraft and determine if within prescribed limits.
3.1.2              Determine trim settings and MAC, where applicable.
3.1.3              Describe the effects of fuel use and management on CG, if any.
