What is required of the PC for weight and balance?
Accuracy of the 365-4 and that a completed DD 365-4 is aboard the aircraft to verify that the weight and center of gravity limits will remain within allowable tolerance for entire flight
If you do not have 50 hours of WX time as a PC, what are your take off minimum requirements?

How long can you perform VFR on top?
30 minutes
Can exceed that if aircraft is equipped for VFR and IFR requirements can be met for the remainder of the flight
Can you initiate an approach regardless of ceilings and visbility?
Yes
When can an aircraft fly below the MDA?
The approach threshold of the runway, or approach lights or markings, identifiable with the approach end of the runway or landing area can be clearly identified
The aircraft must be in a position for which a safe approach and landing can be made
What are the aircraft weight and balance categories?
Class 1: a/c whose weight and balance & COG limits can sometimes be exceeded, therefore limited loading control is needed
