FEAST test practice

FEAST practice, done honestly, means getting used to timed cognitive tasks and to doing several of them at once. It does not mean a copy of EUROCONTROL's items. The free multitask drill on this page is that kind of practice. EUROCONTROL also publishes its own free familiarisation platform, and this site is not that platform.

What FEAST is

FEAST, the First European Air Traffic Controller Selection Test, is a battery that air navigation service providers can use. EUROCONTROL's candidate page splits it in a way you can plan around. FEAST I is cognitive ability plus English. FEAST II, after you pass the first part, is one or two work-sample tests that load several tasks the way the job does. FEAST III is a personality questionnaire that many organisations add. The employer chooses the mix and the cut score.

EUROCONTROL's training platform says its tasks capture the idea of FEAST I and are not the tasks used on the day. Commercial practice sites are not the official platform either. We are an independent gym for the same skill types: picture, reaction, multitask, listening.

How to use this page

Run the free multitask drill once without retrying inside the minute. Note which panel you dropped. On another day, do the spatial drill and the listening drill. If you have been invited to FEAST II, the paid rising-load and conflict drills are the closer feel, still without claiming to be the radar work sample.

Read what is on the FEAST test before you spend a week on the wrong stage. If your letter says FEAST I only, do not train as if you are already on the radar sample.

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.
