Resettlement Case Study: Eric Welleans
Retired PA Sqn Ldr Eric Wealleans would have no hesitation recommending Multiflight at Leeds Bradford International Airport, Yeadon, West Yorkshire, to anyone contemplating leaving the military and studying for their civilian licences.
“Multiflight, as a ‘Preferred Supplier’ for MOD resettlement, in co-operation with their approved academic training provider Bristol Ground School, had the total package required to enable me to go from RAF fast jet pilot to Commercial Pilot’s Licence (CPL) (frozen Airline Transport Pilot’s Licence (ATPL)), utilising the QSP(A) scheme, in six months,” said Eric.
Eric, who gave 32 years service in the RAF, which incorporated 7,000 flying hours spent on Buccaneer, Hunter and Hawk, operating as QWI, IRE, ACI/L and ACO, continued: “They have the knowledge and expertise both administratively – which ensured that I was able to utilise my Enhanced Learning Credits and resettlement entitlements effectively, and operationally to guarantee a smooth transition towards a civilian flying career.
“The professional, friendly staff were approachable at all times and the facilities both on the ground (fixed base simulator) and in the air allowed me to achieve the standards required for both the Skill Test and the IRT.
“Multiflight’s Multi Crew Co-operation (MCC) Course utilises the experience of instructors, all in current flying practice: from diverse backgrounds, who were able to tailor their teaching methods to the experience/needs of the individual students. This ensured that the transition from single-seat flying to multi-pilot/crew operations was achieved efficiently in a constructive learning environment.”
