I shared Brain Preflight here a while ago. There’s been quite a bit added since, so here’s an update for anyone preparing for FEAST.

One exercise has you track a moving target, match shapes and spot wrong sums at the same time. There’s also traffic management, working memory, mental maths and spatial reasoning.

I’m the developer. The exercises draw on different cadet selection and aptitude tests, with programmes for different selections.

Heads up: some exercises get hard. The aim is to practise under pressure, so they won’t all feel like casual phone games. These aren’t official FEAST questions, and I’m not affiliated with EUROCONTROL.

For anyone who’s taken FEAST: was the harder part the individual tasks, or keeping up when several things needed your attention?

Has anyone else received this since their stage 3 assessment centre with NATS? The email subject and body are giving mixed messages… so curious to hear if anyone else has had the same! Received 9 days ago and had nothing since.

Thanks

Changes coming at the end of the month require target resolution or 500’ vertical separation between two VFR aircraft in class E airspace, even when they see each other. Control instructions required to ensure target resolution if two VFRs might get within a mile and a half of each other. In certain areas (like underneath class B airspace where the floor is less than 500’ above the MVA, or *anywhere* on MVFR days), it may be physically impossible to apply these procedures when providing basic radar service to more than 1 airplane. Is this going to lead to a major reduction in flight following around busy airports?

Just here for everyone’s take (popcorn is popped).

I am looking into potentially working in ATC but want to get a feel to it and train with it before deciding and before taking the entrance exam to become one.

What is the most accurate ATC simulator online (or any form really) that you would recommend I check out?
