CFIS Airspace and Speed restrictions

[[email protected]]

Hey guys,
I'm preparing to get CFIS 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???

The way I read it, so long as you are qualified to give instruction,
then if =you= can operate (yourself) in that environment, then you can
give instruction in that environment. A light sport pilot who then
becomes a light sport instructor without ever operating in the given
environment would need the endorsement. You, as a PP (in addition to
being a light sport instructor), would not. Ditto for speed.
