Your FSDO (at least Hillsboro FSDO) won't agree with this statement. If an ATP is not required for the Air Transportation involved, an ATP cannot give instruction. An ATP at United can give instruction in 121, but I cannot give instruction in a King Air 300 even though I am typed and have an ATP. We asked this very question because the copilots that our insurance requires want to log the time as SIC, but are unable to (my instructor ratings are not current).
