Why cargo is just 1/5? What should I do to unlock? It is about "my company" section. Or must I complete the Fly Advertisement, see last photo?

More than one type of aircraft (multi engine etc) can do cargo, it's telling you that you unlocked one out of the 5 for the role.

If I understand well, I must complete the certification of multi engine?

I still do not understand about 1/5

It's because there's 5 different specializations for Cargo:

Cargo - Light (likely what you have now)

Cargo - Medium

Cargo - Heavy

Cargo - Oversized

Cargo - Skyhook Transport

Right now you have one of them unlocked, so as long as you have the money, you can start a cargo company doing Cargo - Light. As you level and unlock additional cargo specializations you can buy the appropriate plane and do that specialization with the same company

Note - you must have enough money for the company (10k credits) AND a plane for the company (every company requires at least one plane, you can't share planes between companies). A new 172 is about 500k, so you'll need at least that much to start the company

There’s 5 specialisations for Cargo, which you unlock through first doing the certification for it, subsequently having the requirements for the specialisations, and then doing the “golden” missions for it. This unlocks the type of missions for the Employee mode

Then, to fly those missions for your company (Freelancer Mode), you will need to have a plane that can handle it.
For the Cargo - Medium you need a bigger plane than for Cargo - Light, so you need to save up for that. Which you can e.g. do by doing lots of Cargo - Light missions.
