Hey guys,
I'm preparing to get LSA CFI but I had two more questions:
61.415 (f) states that: You may not provide training to operate a
light-sport aircraft in Class B, C, and D airspace, at an airport
located in Class B, C, or D airspace, and to, from, through, or at an
airport having an operational control tower, unless you have the
endorsement specified in §61.325, or are otherwise authorized to
conduct operations in this airspace and at these airports
What does it mean to be otherwise authorized? I am a commercially rated
power pilot, does that mean I am autorized to give instruction into
Class B, C or D airspace?
Also the same goes for the speed restriction:
(g) You may not provide training in a light-sport aircraft with a VH
greater than 87 knots CAS unless you have the endorsement specified in
§61.327, or are otherwise authorized to operate that light-sport
aircraft.
Am I authorized???

If you are a commercial pilot then you have received a certificate that
allows you to fly an aircraft that goes faster then 87 knots. You have
also been certificated to operate in Class B, C and D airspace. You
are good to go.
