The velocity field of large-scale non-Hubble galaxy motion recovered from peculiar velocities of spiral galaxies is distorted due to measurement errors and deviations from Tully-Fisher relationship. To figure out how this affects the multipole structure we use the Monte-Carlo approach and simulate errors and deviations. We use the galaxies from the Revised Flat Galaxy Catalogue subsample and the generalized Tully-Fisher relationship in the `H I line width-angular diameter' version. The analysis of the multipole structure has shown that the dipole velocity component (bulk motion) is underestimated, and the characteristic values of the quadrupole component are overestimated. The directions of the quadrupole component's eigenvectors can be determined precisely enough. Typical deviation angles of bulk motion apices lie between 17 and 40°. The main input is caused by errors in the measurement of the angular diameter. The probability of the quadrupole component being incidental can be estimated at the 4 per cent level. For the octopole component, it can be estimated at the 7-10 per cent level. This is essentially higher than the estimations less than 1 per cent due to the Fisher test.
