Every FEAST I Game Now Starts With Instructions

An instruction walkthrough before the timed round. The board stays on the left, the explanation on the right.

What FEAST I is

FEAST is EUROCONTROL's First European Air Traffic Controller Selection Test. A lot of European air navigation service providers use it as the first filter, and it is split into parts. FEAST I is the cognitive battery: short timed modules that look at spatial reasoning, attention, memory, and how you follow rules when the clock is running. FEAST 2 comes later and is the longer work-sample stage with radar and multi-pass. For the full map, we already wrote FEAST modules explained.

This update is about FEAST I. Those games sit in the FEAST Preparation Suite and in free FEAST training, and they are the ones that now open with instructions.

Why we added it

The FEAST I modules do not share one interface. Each game has its own board, buttons, and rules, so jumping straight into a timed round meant spending the first attempt just working out the screen. The score then looked worse than the skill, which is on us.

FEAST 2 already had in-game tutorials. FEAST I did not, and that is the gap we closed.

How it works

The walkthrough uses the same board as the game: the task sits on the left, and the text on the right explains one piece at a time. You move through the slides with the dots at the bottom or with the arrow keys. When you have seen enough, press Play and the usual countdown starts. You do not have to finish every slide; Play is there from the first screen.

What it looks like

The layout is the same on every module: the real board on one side, a short explanation on the other. A few screens from the walkthroughs:

Plan Aircraft.

Distinguish Left and Right.

Estimate Distances and Directions.

Where to try it

Open any FEAST I module in the FEAST Preparation Suite and the instructions come up before the countdown. If you do not have a subscription, free FEAST training has the same walkthroughs.
