Crane Pilot
Pre-takeoff checklist
Can an ATP rated pilot,without a medical, fly as a recreational pilot without further testing? And be legal to do so. In other words does the ATP slide down like a first class medical?
I guess, technically yes, so long as he is not acting as PIC or a required crewmember. But then he's not exercising any of the privileges of a recreational pilot.The short answer is YES.
It's not really a "slide down." Any pilot can exercise the privileges of a lower certificate holder. Like an ATP can exercise all the privileges of a commercial pilot, a private pilot, a recreational pilot, and a sport pilot. Even a student pilot!Can an ATP rated pilot,without a medical, fly as a recreational pilot without further testing? And be legal to do so.

Maybe that's what he meant.OOPS I thought the question was about Sport Pilot.
