Multi pass

Could anyone please tell a few words about Multi pass test? What it is like? Do you need to prepare in addition to this test with some background technical knowledge?

Thanks

first Comparative test for candidate ATC - content?

Hi everyone

I am totally new here.
Belgian National, 27 years old. I work at BRU airport, airside for a ground handling company.
As some might knew Belgocontrol is in search of 12 new ATC's and 3500 (!!) people shown their interest, one of them is me.

Few days back I got an invitation for a first 'comparative test' as they call it, and i'd like to know what to expect from that.
Is that already the first part of the FEAST test I read about here, or is that a first 'filter' test they 'll use before doing the FEAST (since it seems costly and time intensive to let 3500 people do that test...).

Anyone has a clue, or experience with former selection rounds at Belgocontrol?

Thanks in advance!

Angel Multipass

Is there anyone here who would be so kind to help us with some info regarding the new MULTIPASS test?

I know this test was introduced in July 2014 and some of you already took it, therefore please help us with some instructions... just to have an idea what is like!

EC Training?

Does anyone know or heard of anybody that passed the FEAST, Multipass and Interview?

Did they get the 8 candidates they needed for training in spring of 2015? In that case, when were the last tests done by Eurocontrol? As far as I know a couple of months ago the rumours said that nobody had passed. But that might've changed by now?

As far as I know, there are no other tests than the FEAST tests for the initial rounds.
My invitation mentioned the first comparative test too, but on the day itself, the presentation only showed FEAST as a way of selecting candidates.

Dart

Hi Everyone, particularly who had already passed the Dart test,

I'm practicing with Skytest, but I can't find out what is trick of the efficient guiding. Do you have any advice? How can you find the most direct route? How can you do it with the least heading changing?
The real test is similar to the Skytest?

Thanks in advance: Adri

Feast part 1

Hello everybody,
My question for those who tried Feast part 1 is : at the cube folding test, how many cubes do you have to compare to the net? Is is 2 and the option for none, or 5?
Thx

Afternoon all,

I see a few of you have been asking about the latest round of recruitment, so I can confirm that eight candidates have been successful and start training in May.

EUROCONTROL are still accepting applications, which will be held on file for the next opportunity, details will appear on the website closer to the time.

Hope this helps!

Dart questions

Hello everybody,

Can anyone please give me some advice?
I have passed Feast 1 and I am waiting to be scheduled for Feast 2 DART.

1. Does it matter how many instructions (turns and altitude changes) you give to the aircraft?
2. How important is the lateral distance an airplane passes by the waypoint ?
3. Does it matter how long the entire route an aircraft takes? I am referring to it's trajectory.
4. Are the aircraft repositioned directly above the waypoint (like in skytest) if they fly to much distance to an waypoint? If so, does it freeze and wait a few seconds for you to input the right heading?
5. If you crash two planes, will they disappear?
6. Crash = Fail ?


Thank you very much!

@Feaster

My personal advice about the DART and a thing you did not mention.

Pay attention to the numbers that you will hear and have to sum.

I was taking the test and had only 1 conflict on the second test of the DART. But obviously did not write all of the sums correctly, because there was a guy with 4 conflicts next to me and passed the test. - which is why I attribute my failure to the incorrect input of the numbers.

Good luck!

@ECTL15J

How can you confirm that 8 candidates got accepted for training? Do you know anyone that got accepted? Then they must have had more groups after late september because no candidate up til then did pass for the interviews.

Do you know when these candidates had their Phase 2, approx?

Cheers!

@Timpsi

I know for sure that a guy from my Phase 2 group was among top 8.
We underwent our examination in mid - September.

I know one person from the 8 that got accepted and they're starting training May 1st or 4th.
Considering I'm heading to a leaving party tonight for one of the 8, it's probably the 4th

Thank you very much ATC_Hustl!

Does anybody know if the order the aircraft pass the waypoints is important?
I mean if waypoint 1 is passed by Aircraft A1 then by A2; at Waypoint 2 does it matter if A2 goes first? should the order of aircraft passing the waypoints be maintained?

Does anybody know anything about Feast 3???

There is no FEAST 3. At least not for the Belgian selections. After the two FEAST tests, there is an interview process, and a medical test.

Has anybody taken it ?
