Edit: Interesting that the AC uses wording that would imply that the AATD can be used towards an ATP, but never specifies any time that can be used towards it. Perhaps left vague in case they want to allow it in the future? Otherwise I don't know what the point would be..

"2. AUTHORIZED USE. Except for specific aircraft type training and testing, an AATD may be approved and authorized for use in accomplishing certain required tasks, maneuvers, or procedures as applicable under Title 14 of the Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) parts 61 and 141. The FAA will specify the allowable credit in the AATD LOA for private pilot, instrument rating, instrument recency of experience, instrument proficiency check, commercial pilot, and airline transport pilot (ATP)."

"(3) Provides an adequate training platform for both procedural and operational performance tasks specific to the ground and flight training requirements for Private Pilot Certificate, instrument rating, Commercial Pilot Certificate, and Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) Certificate, and Flight Instructor Certificate per parts 61 and 141."
You may actually be right there then. I didn't see that part. Worth checking with whomever will be doing your ATP ride, and get a few other opinions from other people who do ATP rides. Basically, find someone who will accept it and is able to explain/defend why they can.
