I think those are skills you were supposed to pick up in those 1500 hours BEFORE you gut your ATP. You know, in that 75 hours of instrument time you had BEFORE you could get your rating.
But if you don't actually feel "confident and capable" of doing it, by all means tell your CP. I'm sure they can arrange remedial training.
