RunSickHow can somebody that operates a heavy jet not know which category the airplane is?*

Isnīt this related to speed above the threshold, which, should be an important speed to know? At least as a rough guess?
Depends on the type of aircraft your company has. For instance, mine has the B777-200 and -300. The first is cat C , the second cat D.
So if you fly for an airline with only -300 type, you wouldn't know the -200 is a different cat.
I imagine the airbustypes have the same category differences.
