ATCO Europe SW is a comprehensive simulation training tool developed to support candidates preparing for the FEAST (First European Air Traffic Controller Selection Test). While FEAST offers an official preparation package, it covers only a portion of the modules and lacks the realism of the live assessment. Our software aims to accurately simulate real FEAST modules, offering users realistic practice conditions and improved readiness.

Learn more about Memory CompetenceFEAST (First European Air Traffic Controller Selection Test) is the standardized European assessment system used to evaluate candidates for Air Traffic Controller positions across Europe. Developed by EUROCONTROL, this comprehensive test battery identifies individuals with the cognitive abilities essential for air traffic control success.
After successfully passing the English screening (which is part of the FEAST selection process), candidates typically face the remaining FEAST tests as the next crucial step, though the order may vary depending on the specific selection process. This represents the technical competency phase of the European ATC selection process.
The assessment consists of multiple computer-based modules evaluating:
The complete FEAST assessment typically takes 3-4 hours to complete, though this can vary depending on the specific modules included. The test is usually administered in a single session with short breaks between modules. It's important to be well-rested and mentally prepared for this intensive testing period.
Yes, most aviation authorities allow candidates to retake FEAST, but there are typically waiting periods between attempts (usually 6-12 months). The specific retake policy varies by country and organization. Some providers limit the total number of attempts, so proper preparation before each attempt is crucial.
Successfully passing FEAST is typically the major hurdle in becoming an Air Traffic Controller in Europe. The test determines whether candidates advance to specialized personality profiling interviews. These skills are fundamental to managing complex airspace, ensuring flight safety, and maintaining efficient air traffic flow.
FEAST uses a standardized scoring system that compares your performance to established norms. Each module is scored independently, and you must meet minimum thresholds across all areas. The scoring takes into account both accuracy and speed. Results are typically provided as percentile rankings rather than raw scores.
After successfully passing FEAST, candidates typically move on to the next phases of ATC selection, which may include personality assessments, structured interviews, medical examinations, and security clearances. The specific next steps vary by country and aviation authority.
Effective preparation combines understanding the test format, practicing relevant cognitive skills, and building confidence- through realistic simulations. Our ATCO Europe SW provides comprehensive training that aims to mirror actual FEAST tasks, advanced performance analytics to track your progress, and the ability to compare your results with other candidates worldwide. Choose from flexible subscription options (14 days, 2 months, or 6 months) based on your preparation timeline and get instant access to start training immediately.
Most successful candidates prepare for 4-8 weeks, dedicating 1-2 hours daily to practice. However, the ideal preparation time varies based on your baseline cognitive abilities and familiarity with the test format. Our software provides performance analytics to help you gauge your readiness and identify areas needing more focus.
While FEAST is standardized by EUROCONTROL and used across Europe, some countries may include additional local assessments or have slightly different module combinations. The core competencies tested remain consistent, but it's advisable to check with your specific aviation authority for any country-specific requirements.
FEAST has high failure rate, with many qualified candidates not passing on their first attempt. However, candidates who engage in structured preparation consistently demonstrate improved performance across all test modules. Our training software has helped hundreds of aspiring ATCs achieve their goal, with users reporting increased confidence, better time management during the actual test, and improved scores in challenging areas like spatial awareness and multitasking. Don't leave your ATC career to chance - prepare strategically and maximize your potential.
