Hey Paraskevoulla!

Really? Cool ! It's nice to have more Cypriots around :p

Well i went through with the application in August! And in September i got an email stating that my application has been processed and that i will get an invitation for November.

I contacted yesterday and said there is a waiting list so if i don't go in November i will get invited for January.

So when did you apply? Are you studying anything else right now?

@slamdoneck1991

I sent my certificate of visual performance two weeks ago and today I received an email stating that they will contact me for the phase 1 test.

slamdoneck1991 19th October 2011 20:44

Tricks145
Same situation.
Received email about phase one, and found out some info about VISA to Netherlands...
Where you from?

tehblizz 20th October 2011 12:27

A quick question.. is there a minimum grade required in your high school diploma for application? thanks:ok:

Tricks145 26th October 2011 17:20

How reliable is the railway service in Belgium? I'm currently planning the route to Maastricht for my phase 1 test. There are only 20 minutes between the train arriving to Liege Guillemins (from Bruxelles Midi ) and the train from there to Maastricht.

Moira 26th October 2011 17:48

Belgian railways and "reliable" in one sentence? :\
You must be joking!

Seriously, I'd try to get an earlier train if possible.

slamdoneck1991 26th October 2011 20:56

Hey, guys. Do you already know your date of phase 1?
And, does anybody know, how can i get to Maastricht from Amsterdam??

Surts 28th October 2011 13:56

I've send my diplomas and aplication one week ago, but still no answer. Is this normal?

Stelar 28th October 2011 16:17

Yes, it is normal. Wait 2-4 weeks, then you can ask them kindly if they have received it or not.

tehblizz 3rd November 2011 10:15

Could someone please answer this question? Thank you very much :ok:

Moira 3rd November 2011 12:20

Sigh ... you know tehblizz, it actually might be helpful if you tried reading the info they provide on their website first (check the FAQ's on ATCo recruitment):


Hold a certificate of secondary education showing that they have successfully completed studies at advanced level (university entrance).

tehblizz 3rd November 2011 14:24

Dear Moira, thanks for answering me and sorry if I wasn't specific enough in my question. What I was asking is if there was an actual grade limit in your diploma, for eg. here in Italy your high school diploma can go anywhere from 60/100 to 100/100, and I was wondering if they put a limit to that (for eg. not less than 80/100)

thanks again :)

Moira 3rd November 2011 19:39

Ok, seems like I misunderstood you then, scusa! :\ I think it would be best to just call them directly if you want to get such specific info.

If I recall it correctly, "back in the old days" 70/100 used to be the absolute minimum for tests during training, anything below that was a no-go, so I would somewhat expect them to require similar minima with regard to your high school results.

For now: in bocca al lupo!

catch-the-pigeon 3rd November 2011 21:59

Hey, everyone!

I am currently applying for ACT in Bulgaria. I've been reading the formun for qiute a long time now and I would like to heartly thank everybody posting info about the application process :D

I have a question regarding the FEAST simulators: are feasttest.com and Skytest easier than the real FEAST? Furthermore, do you reckon that feasttest.com is generally easier than Skytest?
I payed for feasttest.com and I've been practicing on it, but I can't help thinking that the tasks there are not at the level required...

Thanks in advance and good luck to everyone applying for Eurocontrol :)

slamdoneck1991 4th November 2011 05:55

We're still waitinig for the date, they should announce it this-next week...

Florida21 4th November 2011 19:54

Hello
 
I applied for eurocontrol i have sent my diplomas and result in i have been waiting for one week and no answer ..is this normal ?:bored:

malakajin 4th November 2011 20:30

hey
 
Hey, guys ! I don't want or make you disclaim any info about the new DART test. I just want a simple answer to the question : how many aircraft are coming in the begining of each mini test at the same time ! Thanks a lot !

tehblizz 6th November 2011 10:22

thank you Moira, and "crepi" :)

catch-the-pigeon 8th November 2011 08:18

can anyone tell me: during Ball-to-the-Wall test, which buttons are used- 1,2,3,4 on the Num pad, or some letters? i know it sounds strange, but i'm trying to imagine the positioning of the fingers
thnx!

Stelar 8th November 2011 19:39

on the numpad, do not forget to activate it by the numpad button

catch-the-pigeon 9th November 2011 20:42

hey, thanks!

Krazen 10th November 2011 11:16

Anyone coming to Maastricht from Poland on 22nd of November for phase 1?

slamdoneck1991 11th November 2011 20:39

Krazen, when did you apply?
I asked them, and they tell me, that i'll have phase one in the beginning of next year...

Krazen 11th November 2011 23:00

I applied in the middle of August. AT first they told me that my phase 1 would be either in the end of November or in the beginning of the next year, and it turned out to be in November.

slamdoneck1991 16th November 2011 08:26

Good luck to those who are going to have phase 1 in november.
waiting for your comments.

slamdoneck1991 22nd November 2011 18:56

irishpilot1990, did you have?

Krazen 24th November 2011 00:32

I had test on Tuesday, unfortunately I did not pass phase 1. 3 people from my group passed it, I don't know if they were successful in the afternoon at phase 2, though.

Only advise I can give you is that you should stay focus during whole test, read every instruction carefully and be quick. There is little time for second thoughts, most of times your first decision has to be final. Only exception is English language test, there is plenty of time for that test.

slamdoneck1991 24th November 2011 14:36

Krazen, what kind of tests did you have?
Explain please every test. Or was it just typically feast test?

Krazen 24th November 2011 18:56

Just FEAST, it's explained pretty well in wikipedia. Those 3 who passed FEAST done DART test later in the afternoon.

slamdoneck1991 24th November 2011 19:25

Have you tried any preparation tools?
Does the feast test include SDM?

Unregistered12 26th November 2011 01:23

yes,skytest is uselss.

maybe you pass the test,but you would not pass the training, if you passed it only because of skytest.

Moira 26th November 2011 03:27

Same reason why explaining every single test in detail is not necessarily helpful.

mxwbuaa 27th November 2011 07:15

is there anyone having skytestŪ preparation software for atco screenings 2.1 installation disk?

vladTGS 28th November 2011 12:12

Feasttest vs Skytest which preparation program is better?

catch-the-pigeon 30th November 2011 08:38

Hey guys/girls,

a quick question- in FEAST 2, where DART is, is a Math test included? They have included a Math section in feasttest.com

bibz 2nd December 2011 14:36

I really think this quick question deserves a quick answer... So... Anyone? Pleaseee :))))))
catch-the-pigeon, did u get THE CALL? :)

gavroche 2nd December 2011 19:34

coordinate system
 
hy! since i understand you took the test, could you PLEASE tell me how do you estimate the distances in the Coordinate System test? i mean those distances which do not imply calculating the 14 on diagonal or just the 10 on sides?

Stelar 2nd December 2011 21:33

Do not expect any serious calculation on that part of the test.
The 10/14 is going to be enough, the point is to make the calculation quickly and rightly for the first time so you don't waste your own precious seconds.

That's what all FEAST is about: be quick and right. If you screw up something and you can't correct it just go on and concentrate on the new things instead worrying about the (previous) screwed ones.

catch-the-pigeon 3rd December 2011 07:30

bibz, I got through FEAST 1 and I'm going to FEAST 2 on Monday :)) I am applying in Bulgaria though (in Bulgarian ATC centre), so my schedule is a bit different.

bibz 3rd December 2011 10:31

catch-the-pigeon, 8:45 or 13 o'clock?? :)))
I also passed FEAST 1 and I am scheduled for FEAST 2 for this Monday, 8:45 AM! What made you think I am not applying in BG? :P
Any news on tha math part?

Here's a quote from feasttest.com:
Mental Mathematics is not a part of the offical FEAST test, however many ATC organisations(NATS amongs others) have added mental mathematics tests to accompany the FEAST test.
