One question that I have is: the people that pass the entry exams are they super mega clever you know like they can multiply super large numbers in one second and so one... Or are they just simply aviation enthustiasts with a suficient intigence that allows to multiply with time, a pen and a paper.( I am one of those 2d option)
Sometimes they're neither!

When I went to do my Phase 2 at Eurocontrol the controller told us that Eurocontrol was responsible for Eindhoven approach. I might be wrong, but I'm almost sure about this.

You don't have to be passionate about aviation to be an atco.

Definitely not. MUAC doesn't control any airspace below F245. Eindhoven is a military airfield and controlled by RNLAF using the same system as MUAC but from a remote location.

Hello. I would like to ask a few things that are bothering me.
1. Are the checkpoints of DART in the FEAST test positioned just like in the skytest?
2. Is density of the air traffic similar, compared with skytest's level 3 and the real thing?
3. I do not find it comfortable at all, when a new aircraft appears with the same altitude and the absolutely same spot, where my aircraft is. Is that a bug of the skytest? New planes are getting from nowhere which leads to catastrophic end.

Unlikely to be any progress just yet...it's August, outside the ops environment the place is like a ghost town.

Where is multipass used? I can clearly understand that Romania is one of the places, but where else?

Hi,

does anybody know where I start with retesting after two years?

At that point I failed or do I have to do all tests again?

Thanks in advance!

I will have my FEAST 1 test in Switzlerland on Thursday but apart from "look into older threads "or "use the search function" there's not much information on FEAST 1 here in the board, and those older threads either don't contain information on FEAST 1 or they say there's nothing to prepare for.

Well, I would appreciate it to know what I should expect. Will there be specific physics questions? Or math exercises?

How about mental calculation?

Even the English Wikipedia has an extensive article on the contents of FEAST. It really is easy to find the information you want, all it takes is some initiative. Those other threads are correct, by the way; you can't prepare for a test that tests largely innate abilities. Get some quality rest the night before, eat a nice breakfast, try to relax. If you have what they're looking for, you will pass the test. Simple as that.

Hey everyone!

I am just curious if there is anybody who has passed or ever faced Phase 2 of their testing? I mean the one which is going after FEAST 2.
