I have the first tests on May 5th, anyone else?

Hello to all ! Congrats SLeo... did you get an email or a phone call ?
Cheers !

Well done and point taken Irs33.

But you do seem to be quite full of yourself.So if I can give you an advice :
Work on that!:cool:

Does anyone know how hard the Feast 2 can be compare to the 1st part; I mean both in intensity and stress management. I know it is a strip based exercice but is it constant along the way or does it keep increasing in intensity from start to the end of the 40 min or so. Also, as it is a strip sorting exercice, how many checkpoint can we expect to have on the screen? And last but not least question: what are the priorities you advice among the different task. I saw than in some of the threads, people have different opinions about this matter.
Cheers :)

Foxtrotcharlie7 i got an email, all of my communication has been via email :) I also have a place free in pilotschool so lets hope ill get to eurocotrol and start there instead.

Hello all !
to SLeo... thanks for the answer... next question is, when did you get the email stating that you would be given a date to attend to phase 1???
Cheers !

Fox, don't worry, we will get our mail as well :)

I got the email 29th of Januari and like 1 month ago the final date.

so you waited around 1 month to get final date?

Hello ! Well, that is strange indeed SLEO, because I got my email stating "WAIT FOR A DATE TO ATTEND PHASE 1" on 23rd December!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm WALKING ON THE WALLS (literal translation for spanish phrase....) ---> Means I'm really nervous. Although this, I will keep on waiting ! Eurocontrol deserves it !
Cheers !

same here mate, i'm more nervous about that mail than tests

Hope you guys get the test date soon, i know it sucks waiting on things like that.. I have been studying aviation so maybe that helped me got the date sooner, or something. My friend also has the tests on 5th of May.

yea, it sucks :(
SLeo, i sent you a private message :)

Hi guys. I have recived mail from ECthat I have to do Eye examination. I went to a doctor and she said it will be very expensive. Does EC refund this money? Where did you do eye exam?

Thanks

i did my eyes examination at ophthalmologist and payed 25€, i acctually went to ophthalmologist who is testing pilots and controllers

Hello ! WOW :eek: I had to pay, here in Spain, 60 € !!! I don't think Eurocontrol refunds this examination.
Cheers

so Sleo has a date, congrats for that mate.
They could at leat tell you something meanwhile you are waiting or something....

Feast2 was enjoyable after sweating the morning hours with cubes... Don't think about priorities, however I would say that do not concentrate on conflict detection too much.. Do it whenever you have time from other tasks, it should be quite easy to spot at least two or three conflicts.

That's not the case. Irs33 is anything but full of himself, don't judge people you don't know :)

Hi all

Hence the word 'seem' in my post!:ok:

Having siad that , when you are involved in the selection process (that's from initial selection to full qualification) it is very difficult not to judge someone you don't know.And believe me , in an OPS room , the first impression is vital.

We don't want introverted candidates , but the ones who quickly get to see the door only from the outside are the ones I call 'full of themselves'.

All the best in your training.;)

Thanks for the advice Jtor. Sounds very wise indeed and I'll keep it in mind when I'll take the test.
:)
A.

straight to HR guy or to adress were we sent all applications?

hey guys, i've just checked out my email and saw an invitation for phase 1 test 6May.

Hello guys ! :mad::mad::mad: :\:\:\ Damn !!!!!! Good for you all going during MAY :D:D:D... I'm still waiting for the glorious-and-so-waited- DATE TO ATTEND PHASE 1 !!!! I envy you all :} !!! Matichk :rolleyes:, my dearest :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:, as I see it, we will have to wait once more time.
Cheers, and good luck to all of you !!! Remember, nice and steady !!! :ok:

yea, i want to send them mail asking about that, but don't know where should i send so i will get quick response :(
i'm still hoping i will get my invite :)

fox and matchick i sent them an email say its almost half april and i haven't had any notices from you, could you tell me something?
first thing i had at 7.30 am in my hotmail was an invitation to phase 1 test.
so...any more doubts?

to which address you sent it? straight to HR guy or to address where you sent all diplomas and eye examination?

i sent it to the guy directly.
good luck

I was mailing always with Imke Willems and i think its a she :)

ups,hahaha ok then i mailed HER/HIS

well, i guess i'm not attending phase 1 in May :(
but on the other hand, that'll leave me with enough time to pass my exams before July :D

Hey

I just got an email from Eurocontrol asking me to fill in a form so they can ask NATS for my FEAST results. Will this affect my NATS application (waiting to hear about 3rd stage hopefully, after doing the 2nd personality questionnaire) at all, as in will they be annoyed that I'm applying for EC too?

Well..it can kind of affect them as you are playing two teams at the same time. If i was you i would have waited to finish with NATS and if i was not selected then apply for EC ...
by the way, who's going 6 MAY?
any spanish?

sixtolo91, plz read your personal message...:ok:

thanks seromero!
and you have to wait 2 years to apply again!

hello man!!
I have to wait for 12 months, plz don't make me sick!!:rolleyes:
but i'll check it again...

Hello!

Firstly, I would like to say that I find all your comments very informative and helpful!

But there are some questions left and I hope that someone is able to answer them.

- Will there be a radar- test ( like in Germany )?
- Do they ask the participants if they had taken the FEAST anywhere else, or do they ask if they had taken any similar testings? ( e.g. in Germany )
- Is it possible to leave our baggage in the hotel until the end of testing?

Thanks in anticipation :)

Hey,

First of all, good luck to all of you taking the test soon.

Normally if you have taken the feast test already they can get a letter of declaration from that company. Feast is used by most European organisations and should only be taken once.

You will get some tests where you will have to make use of headings, don't remember in what format that test was anymore.

Leaving your baggage in the hotel is not a problem normally, Eurocontrol always uses that hotel during its testing phases so if you would already have to check out early they will probably still be able to accomodate for your luggage. small bags can always be stored in a few lockers at the reception.

Hope I have been of any help.

cheerio

Hi!

Thanks for your answers!
The point is, that I had taken the testings in Germany, but they do not use FEAST here. So Im just wondering if I have to mention it :hmm:

Im asking for the radar- simulation test, because to me it seems to be the most difficult test at all.

Anyway, I hope we will all do great :)
