FSIMS Handbook
From what I understand: A Type Rating is an amendment to your ATP; A Type Rating therefore shows that you have met ATP standards on a check ride in a certain aircraft. You can then be issued an ATP with limitations; for example, not 23 years old, do not meet flight time requirements, etc. (Letter of Competency). Not good as an ATP until you produce evidence of meeting the required flight time limitations in your case. Then it's just a paperwork shuffle and you have both the ATP and the Type Rating, you just "cash in" the Letter of Competency.
Problem usually comes in with how familiar the examiner is with his ability to issue certificates. A sharp one knows, a competent one will call it in to verify his scope and a turd one will deny anything you propose to him.
Best to have this conversation BEFORE the ride! Good luck!
