Answer

The FEAST (First European Air Traffic Controller Selection Test) is a standardised screening tool used by many air navigation service providers to assess aptitude for air traffic control training.

It evaluates skills such as:

  1. Logical reasoning
  2. Spatial orientation
  3. Multitasking and memory
  4. English language understanding
  5. Stress tolerance

Preparation focuses on becoming familiar with the test format and time pressure, rather than memorising content. You can improve performance by practising cognitive training apps, completing sample aptitude tests, and developing fast, accurate decision-making in task-switching environments.
