For some reason I just read the certificate. Why?

I did notice something interesting, though.

It describes the aircraft as

Four turbo-propeller engines, medium range tactical transport aeroplane, large aeroplane category.
And goes on to define

18. Minimum Flight Crew
Two (2): Pilot and co-pilot
However, we then find that

19. Maximum Seating Capacity
No other occupants apart of the minimum flight crew are allowed on board

20. Baggage/ Cargo Compartment
No loads shall be carried in the cargo compartment
Transport aircraft aren't what they used to be, are they?
