They told that there're no ways to prepare to the FEAST but I don't think so.
The most difficult part for me which was the "cube folding" could be prepared before. I'll know it for the next time. By the way, is it possible to retake the FEAST test again at MUAC and if yes, within what time period ?

The cube folding test is indeed a tricky one. My advice would be to find some similar tests on the internet. As for a retake, it is possible to apply again but only 2 years later than your first application. You can also ask for a feedback. They may give you some clues on what you can improve in order to be succesful during your next attempt. Good luck !

I can't fine on the Internet cube folding exercices as difficult as the Eurocontrol one.

Hello,

I wonder if there's anyone here who's been invited to take the initial tests on 30th March? And how many people are usually in a group?

Hey guys, just registered here 'cause it was about time I started getting some news from other people. I did the Phase 2 and interviews on 21st and 22nd of March and I was the only one who got through both in Phase 1 on Feb 20th and Interview. I was wondering if there was anyone here in the group who passed as well and is waiting to be invited for the medicals? So far I know no one else who has passed, so please raise your hands :P

Congrats. There should be sixteen peeps altogether for the October ab initio group and they had five or six last time I checked, in February. Also, the latest group is looking forward to meeting you in Toulouse.

Thank you! Where do you check how many people have passed until now? :O and man 6 people is really a low number. I'm actually amazed. Looking forward to meeting them there as well :)

LFVA 19th Apr 2017 16:46

So we've been told at the time. No idea what the figure is today.

Samcnm 19th Apr 2017 17:32

Oh okok, so you have passed as well I assume? :)

LFVA 20th Apr 2017 06:05

Yes. See you soon.

Does anyone know if you have already passed FEAST and DART through the NATS application process, will you have to sit it again for Eurocontrol?

Whether you can apply for Eurocontrol too depends on what happened to your NATS application. E-mail masuac.students [at] eurocontrol.int with your details about what you have done so far with NATS and they can tell you if you can apply and what you would have to do.

Thanks. I have my final stage of NATS process in June so I'll await the outcome of that before I contact them. :)

If you think you might want to go to Eurocontrol instead of NATS (the money and pension is much better at MUAC, the work environment not), then you should contact them now. If Eurocontrol is simply your backup plan if you fail at NATS then you would most likely be wasting your time I'm afraid (unless your FEAST scores are exceptional).

I think the Feast lasts a couple years. So if you have done it then you don't have to take it again at Eurocontrol. You'll just tell them, they'll contact NATS and eventually you'll be invited for the group phase and eventually the interview. When I was doing the tests some guys had done it that way so you shouldn't have any problem with that. But as said, if it's just your backup plan then be careful cause the invitation is not 100% sure

Hi everyone!

I just passed to the second phase of Eurocontrol and got informed that there will be a test called Multipass . I have no idea what this is , and there is nothing on the web . The only test which sounds like it is Multicontrol but i don't believe its the same one.

Does anyone have any information regarding Multi Pass ?

Thanks a lot!

Marlonne 26th Apr 2017 08:14

Hey all, I just wanted to know when you are invited for tests at MUAC, how long do you'll stay in Maastricht for if you'll have passed the first phase ?

Because for me I live in Dubai and if I am invited for Phase 1 at Maastricht, I'm not sure how long I will have to be there for and so I am seeking advice.

Thank you.

Update: I am called for Phase 1 on Tuesday 9th May. Anyone else invited for this date ?

Sounds weird 'cause Eurocontrol's Phase 2 consists of the group testing and then Interviews. The Multipass (as well as the Darts) should've taken place as part of your Phase 1 after completing the Feast I (in fact if I recall correctly Multipass and Darts are together part of the Feast II).

However in the Multipass you need to organize flightstrips according to the sequence of aircrafts you have. The aircrafts follow predefined routes down to the runway so the only thing you need to worry about is merely organizing the sequence and paying attention to the altitudes. While doing this you'll be required to perform a secondary task in order to test your multitasking abilities.
If you search "Multipass test" and see some images you'll see some pics of it! :)
