SubscribeWe believe the emergence of Christy Military Flying Training has been executed with the meticulous precision and absence of hype befitting a lean and effective organisation rooted in heavyweight knowledge and experience.
With a peerless operational background in this field, founder Monty Christy has established an independent organisation that, from the top down, combines the right military, commercial and operational experience. As he explains:
“Due to our unique specialist knowledge and experience, we believe Christy Military Flying Training is and will remain the only business of this kind.
“From my first involvement with PFI procurement in the mid 1990s, I realised that operational success within the emerging combined military/civil sector depended upon recognition that by it’s very nature, this would become a specialist industry in itself. The imperative for risk minimisation and sustained efficiency in this sector, would be sharp-end decision-makers with full operational knowledge and understanding of the cause and effect not of just one or two, but of all the component disciplines.
“ Therefore, to augment my military background in fast jet front line operations, fast jet flying training and flying training procurement, in starting and growing the HST PFI, I made it my business to learn, thoroughly, the other critical and interdependent components of the task - contractual, technical and commercial.
“Experience exposes the myth that a big organisation is a guarantee of low risk. From bid right through to operational application, sustained risk minimisation depends upon the correct through-life combination of knowledge, experience, accountability, authority and impartiality within an effective, properly resourced infrastructure”
Christy Military Flying Training offers the full range of services to their customers, which will include flying training itself. Established in 2003, CMFT’s first contract was with the UK MoD, awarded in mid-2004, to deliver fast-jet pilot training software to the RAF for use in ground school for both ab-initio and qualified pilots. This contract was delivered on time in early 2005 and will represent a quantum leap forward when compared to the previous system in use.
More recently, due to increasing demand for its services, the organisation has formed 2 further aviation companies, so as to preserve the focus of their military flying training arm.
“In expanding and consolidating our organisation, we are meticulous in our selection of specialist infrastructure support. We invest in expert legal advice and our long term plans are supported by several major City finance institutions”.
Christy operates to a 20-year financial and operational plan and therefore fully understands the real value and investment represented by customer satisfaction. The company does not believe that the contract ends with the scheduled date. Rather, Christy believes that the end date is marked by the stage at which the company has delivered absolutely it’s pre-contract goals, which in themselves will all either match or exceed the stated contract.
