The Flight Training Department is the second special department of the NHS.
The FTD's purpose is to take on all responsibilities regarding the training and supervision of medical pilots and aircraft.
When a medic is up for promotion from Nurse to Doctor, medics will be put through a flight exam under the supervision of a Flight Training Department Instructor (I/FTD). This is put in place to oversee and control the use of medical air vehicles and to quality check all the medical pilots to ensure that aid can be delivered quickly and reliably.
To fly an air vehicle is a privilege, not a right, and as such it must be earned. This privilege can be revoked just as easily as it was granted.
The Flight Test
The Flight Test
When someone gets promoted to 'Noctor' they will have two weeks to complete a flight test with any I/FTD. The test will consist of some theory based questions regarding the use of helicopters in the NHS and some practical exercises in a helicopter.
If you fail your flight test, you will need to wait a day before you can re-do your test.
You will also get a chance to sign up for flight academy if you fail your test.
The Flight Academy
The Flight Academy
The Flight Academy is a sub-branch of the NHS FTD. It is created for medics who want to learn and master their skills as an NHS Pilot and get ready to pass the NHS Flight Test.
Applications are open for all medics below the rank of Noctor.
When you apply, an instructor will either accept or decline your application.
As an I/FTD it is your duty to train people who requested flight training.
