3. Examination Guide
The purpose of this guide is to help highlight the applicable areas of knowledge for this exam.
It is not a complete list of topics, but covers those that seem to have confusion or are what I deem as important to the exam.
The final guidance for all exams is the appropriate PTS.

4. Certificates and Documents
Commercial Pilot Privileges & Limitations
Currency Requirements
Pilot Certificates and Medicals
Airplane Documents

5. Commercial Pilot Privileges
Common Carriage
is a person or company that transports goods or people for any person or company and that is responsible for any possible loss of the goods during transport. A common carrier offers its services to the general public under license or authority provided by a regulatory body. The regulatory body has usually been granted “ministerial authority” by the legislation which created it. The regulatory body may create, interpret, and enforce its regulations upon the common carrier (subject to judicial review) with independence and finality, as long as it acts within the bounds of the enabling legislation.
Holding Out
The process of deliberating on an offer. Also advertising for a service.
14CFR119.1

23. Engine Inoperative Definitions:
VMC is the calibrated airspeed at which, when the critical engine is suddenly made inoperative, it is possible to maintain control of the airplane with that engine still inoperative, and thereafter maintain straight flight at the same speed with an angle of bank of not more than five degrees. The method used to simulate critical engine failure must represent the most critical mode of power plant failure expected in service with respect to controllability. ( (a))
At VMC the rudder pedal force required to maintain control must not exceed 150 pounds and it must not be necessary to reduce power on the operative engine(s). During the maneuver, the airplane must not assume any dangerous attitude and it must be possible to prevent a heading change of more than 20 degrees. ( (e))
Critical Engine is the engine, which if it is made suddenly inoperative has the greatest negative effect on aircraft directional control.
