NOTAM 31 in the NOTAM Section:

Stage 3 changes
DC-6 Program
The DC-6 program moves to Stage 3.

The DC-6 Aircraft Operations Manual (AOM) is available in the Document Library. The DC-6 Exam has been modified to conform to the new AOM and should be used as a study guide for the exam.

The DC-6 program gains additional ratings – the Convair 340/440. If you are currently in the DC-6 program, you will gain these ratings automatically when we add them. If you are not in the DC-6 program but have the DC-6 rating, create a Help Desk issue to be given the new rating. (It may be a couple of days before this takes effect) Those who earn the DC-6 rating in the future will get these additional ratings when they pass the DC-6 check ride.

The DC-6 rating includes these additional ratings: Constellation, CV-340, CV-440, DC-3, DC-7, L-10
