Part 61/141 Training

Hi all,

I am currently studying Aeronautical Engineering in the U.K. but wish to become a professional airline pilot. As a result I have an FAA PPL which I completed under part 61.

I am a little confussed as to why there are different courses under the two different parts; for example there was an ATP course under part 141, but not under part 61. This is all information I have received from the flying school website I am/was flying at in the U.S.

Can anyone advise me as to whether I can swap between parts, i.e. complete my IR under part 61(as planned), and then switch to part 141 to take my CPL and ATP. Or is it possible to do the whole lot under part 61?

I would appreciate any information.

Regards,

Chris
