What is on the FEAST test

FEAST is a battery, not one paper. EUROCONTROL describes FEAST I as cognitive tests plus English, FEAST II as a harder multitasking work sample after you pass the first part, and FEAST III as a personality questionnaire many employers add. The exact mix is the employer's. The items are not public.

FEAST I

EUROCONTROL's candidate information says the first phase measures basic skills: decision making, planning, memory, logical reasoning, visual perception, attention, multitasking, spatial orientation, and English listening. The official familiarisation platform exists so you can see the kind of task. EUROCONTROL says those practice tasks are not the ones used in a real session. Use that platform if you are invited. It is free, and it is theirs, not ours.

FEAST II

If you pass FEAST I you may be asked back. EUROCONTROL describes two work samples here: a radar test, and a multi-task test. They are meant to feel closer to the job, with more than one demand at the same time. There is no honest public copy of those work samples. The paid drills on this site raise the load and add a separation picture. They are not labelled as the radar test, because they are not.

FEAST III and what comes after

Where it is used, FEAST III is a questionnaire about how you work, not a puzzle with a right heading. After testing, employers add interviews, a medical, and a security check on their own timetable. A strong FEAST day is not a job offer.

What to practise here

For FEAST I, use all four free drills and the FEAST practice page. For the multitasking feel of FEAST II, use the rising-load drill if you have paid access. Keep a note of which task you drop. That note is more useful than a single percentage.

Practice past the free drill

One free drill in each family stays free. Paid drills are the harder variants.

Questions people ask

What is the FEAST test?

FEAST is EUROCONTROL's First European Air Traffic Controller Selection Test. It is a battery that air navigation service providers can use. FEAST I covers cognitive skills and English. FEAST II, if you are invited, is a harder multitasking work sample. Many providers also use a personality questionnaire called FEAST III.

Is the FEAST test difficult?

Candidates describe it as demanding because several ordinary tasks run at once under a clock. EUROCONTROL does not publish one pass rate for every provider. The cut score belongs to the organisation that invited you.

Can you prepare for a FEAST test?

You can get used to the kinds of tasks. EUROCONTROL runs a free official familiarisation platform and says those tasks are not the live test. This site is separate from that platform. Use both if you want. Neither one contains the confidential items.

What tests do air traffic controllers take?

It depends on the employer. FAA applicants who are invited sit the ATSA. Many European providers use FEAST. Germany's DFS uses its own selection, including aptitude testing associated with DLR. Military routes are different again. Read the vacancy you are applying to.

How many people pass the air traffic controller test?

No honest single number exists across countries. Providers do not share one cut score. Treat any viral percentage as uncited.
