Master not more than 3000 gt upgrade to master more than 3000 (unlimited )

46 CFR 11.305(d) if I understand that a master NMT 3000gt can upgrade to master more than 3000 (unlimited) with 180 days as master using his NMT master 3000gt. Also complete any training not already met or assessments. is this making it easy for limited tonnage guys to progress to master unlimited without being a unlimited mate first? Would you just need to sit for the unlimited master exam or is there a separate exam from upgrading from master 3000gt to master over 3000gt? Thanks,

§11.305 Radar-Observer certificates and qualifying courses

How does Radar have anything to do with skipping from a 500GT Master to Unlimited Tonnage? Maybe you meant another CFR?
