including the following information:

(i) The full name of the pilot.
(ii) The pilot certificate (by type and

medical certificate that the pilot

and proficiency checks required by this
subpart and the type of aircraft flown
during that test or check.

(vii) The pilot’s flight time in suffi-

cient detail to determine compliance

subpart.

ter of gravity need not be computed if
the aircraft is loaded according to a
loading schedule or other approved
method that ensures that the center of
gravity of the loaded aircraft is within
approved limits. In those cases, an
