Grid test
Hi guys,
Just a quick question...
When doing the grid test... are the only two measurement values 10(node to node along vertices) and 14(diagnol).
Will we be expected to calculate the diagnol across 2 squares where the diagnol would be 22 ( basically 10^2 + 20^2 = X^2, where X is the diagnol )
Thanks

Hey Nariac,
When you do the grid test knowing your Pythagoras is pretty usefull
You got to calculate or gamble some distances! But they questions are Multiplechoice! So it isn't really that hard.
Cheers!

Hi All,
I recieved an email about 3 weeks ago (as per my previous post) stating they'd be in contact soon with regards to my phrase 1 date. Is it common to wait this long, or should I send them an email tomorrow?
Cheers,
Sam

Yeah from what i have read before... this is normal...
I got that email before Christmas... so I'll probably be in the group just before you. I reckon i could be in the March group but i wont know until 2 or 3 weeks before.
Just have patience... like me. I know its hard but its just part of the process.

Hello everyone!
I'm thinking of applying as well, but what concerns me is my poor eyesight. I sent Eurocontrol an email asking about this and they said me that "The limit has changed until -6". I wear contacts with dioptres -6, which means that my eyesight itself is even worse. What do you guys think are my chances? Has anyone else had a problem applying/passing because of their eyesight?
Thanks!

Hi everybody!
I've just passed the eurocontrol feast test in Spain, although Im still in the spanish selection process for ATC I would really prefer studying in eurocontrol. Could anybody tell me if I have to pass again the tests? how many more tests left would i have to pass to make it in eurocontrol? Does the feast tests corresponds to phase 1 in eurocontrol. Any answer will be very apreciated.
Thanks!
PS: Ive just send the online application form and the diploma scan by mail. How much time do they usually take until you get the examination date?

As far as I know, you don't need to take the FEAST again. In Eurocontrol's selection process, phase 1 is the FEAST test (including SDM).
After that, you also need to pass phase 2, phase 3 and phase 4.
Phase 2 consists of three situational tests, one of which is a 30 min. group discussion, another one is a paired exercise (you will learn more about it when the time comes) and another one is making a flight plan and present it.
Phase 3 is the interview and phase 4 the medical exam.

Hi everyone, since I'm new of the forum, I would ask you something about being chosen by Eurocontrol. Actually I'd like to know in how much time are they going give me an answer if I have passed the CV selection.
Thanks everyone.

After you fill out the application form, you will need to send them a copy of your educational documents (leaving certificate from highschool / or equivilant)
After that they will send you a form that will have to be filled out by an eye specialist and this will have to be send back to them.
Once all that is in order, the will email you again to tell you that you have been successful/ unsuccessful and that you will hear from them shortly.
It's a long process but I would advise you to get everything back to them as quickly as possible so as to make sure you wont have to wait any longer.
I hope this helps

hi there,
phase 1 usually starts at 9 o'clock (briefing in the cantine), the test itself starts at 10 o'clock.
The very first part of the selection process ends around 12-13 o'clock and if you reach the standard minimum then you have the chance to prove your skills at the second part of phase 1. If you fail the first part, obviously you have to go home but it's not an option, is it?:]
The second part ends about 15:30-16:00, and you will not receive the results there, you have to wait at least a day for it.
Of course, you can wait there for the phase 2 it will cost you a few thousands euro due to the fact that the phase 2 takes place a few weeks later after the phase 1.
Hope that helps and good luck!

I just got an email as well, 16th of March for me. Woop! Can't wait.
If I want to take a few extra days, can i? It would be nice to stay there for weekend as well, if i'm up there already
But considering they pay for your flight expenses...can you mix business with pleasure?
