Why this disclosure matters
ATCPracticeTest.com publishes independent educational information about FAA ATSA, EUROCONTROL FEAST, NAV CANADA, related air traffic control recruitment and pilot aptitude preparation. Candidates need to be able to tell when an article is explaining an official assessment, when it is comparing a vendor’s offering and when a commercial relationship may influence what gets promoted.
Some links to third-party preparation products on this site are commercial referral links that may generate a commission if a qualifying purchase occurs. This is an existing part of how the site is organised, not merely a possible future arrangement. That revenue may support publication, but a recommendation is still an editorial judgment that should be backed by evidence and openly qualified when evidence is limited.
This page explains the different types of commercial connection. Where a product is recommended or linked commercially, we also aim to give readers a clear, nearby disclosure. A policy link in a footer, a tracked URL or an invisible link attribute is not a substitute for explaining a potential commission to the reader.
Four kinds of link or commercial placement
| Type | How to recognise it | What to understand |
|---|---|---|
| Independent official or educational source | A link to FAA, EUROCONTROL, NAV CANADA, a regulator or a free reference | Useful for verifying requirements; it is not automatically paid or an official endorsement of this website |
| Affiliate or paid referral link | An optional vendor recommendation, commonly marked rel="sponsored" and sometimes nofollow | We may earn a commission after a qualifying purchase; the vendor sets its own price, attribution rules and refund terms |
| Publisher-network or related-site navigation | A link to another site in the same publisher network, sometimes with source-tracking parameters | Related-site navigation is not automatically an affiliate sale; shared editorial ownership should not be mistaken for third-party independence |
| Display advertisement or sponsored editorial placement | A clearly labelled advertisement, paid feature or separately identified sponsored content if offered | This is distinct from an ordinary affiliate CTA; the format and the paying sponsor should be clear to readers |
Our local link configuration treats commercial vendor domains differently from some related publisher-network sites. For example, JobTestPrep, ATC Preparation, SkyTest and Pilot Assessments appear in the affiliate-domain register, while ATSAPracticeTests.com is identified as a publisher-network destination with follow-style navigation. A URL containing utm_source is not automatically evidence of a vendor commission.
The category of a link depends on its real relationship and purpose, not the presence of a referral parameter alone. If a partnership ends or a linked site changes ownership, we should update the description and markup accordingly.
Affiliate commissions and what they cost
On certain review and study pages, links to third-party sellers may be tagged rel="sponsored" and nofollow; our templates can display a plain-language Disclosure note alongside the recommendation. We seek to mark commercial outbound links appropriately and verify them during local site checks.
You do not pay a separate fee to ATCPracticeTest.com just for clicking a referral link. This statement does not guarantee that the seller will display the same checkout price in every country, currency, referral route or promotion. We cannot control vendor taxes, discounts, subscription renewal charges, cancellation conditions or refund approvals.
Not every mention of a vendor, link to a product, or page on the website necessarily earns a commission. We have not independently confirmed individual vendor contracts, rates, cookie lifetimes, qualified conversions or payouts in this content audit. A successful HTTP request to a vendor page or the presence of a tracking code is not evidence of a sale.

Display advertising and sponsored articles
The source templates reviewed for this update contain an affiliate-link system and a Google Analytics 4 tag, but no dedicated display-ad placement or AdSense script was identified in the checked local page template. This limited code check does not establish what a third-party hosting dashboard might inject into the live website.
Display ads, programmatic advertising, paid articles or brand-supported guides may be introduced separately in the future. If they are, we should disclose their commercial nature near the placement and update this page, the relevant article and the Privacy Policy with accurate provider and data-collection information.
A sponsored page should be clearly labelled, for example Sponsored content or Advertisement, before a reader relies on its message. A sponsored article should not be presented as an independently selected recommendation without an explanation of the sponsor’s role. An ordinary affiliate link in a review is not, by itself, proof that the article was commissioned by the supplier.
We do not claim a current AdSense account, a display-ad impression count, a paid sponsored-post program, or specific advertisers without evidence from the appropriate account or publishing records.
How we protect editorial decisions
Vendors must not purchase a higher review score, a top ranking, an editor’s-pick label, or the removal of relevant product limitations. If a paid feature is published, it must be identified separately from independent review judgment.
Our Review Policy explains that public vendor product pages are sources for advertised features and terms, not proof that we purchased, subscribed to or completed every paid test. We also do not have a published reproducible weighted scoring system that makes a historical 4.4/5 product demonstrably superior to a 4.3/5 competitor. Several unsupported legacy scores have been removed on audited reviews; others still need individual examination.
We aim to recommend a resource because its documented scope, format, cost and limitations fit a particular candidate’s needs, not because it pays more. We cannot infer actual ranking influence or contract restrictions from templates alone; any material conflict or sponsorship restriction should be recorded and disclosed by the publisher.
A candidate comparing a paid FEAST-style course should also know about EUROCONTROL’s free authorised FEAST training, which covers most FEAST I practice rather than the dedicated FEAST II tests. A commercial ATSA mock is not the official FAA evaluation, and a vendor’s SureSelect offering is not NAV CANADA’s own assessment.
No official affiliation or test endorsement
We are independent of FAA, EUROCONTROL, NAV CANADA, Pearson VUE, USAJOBS, airlines, air navigation service providers and official assessment publishers. We do not administer their aptitude or recruitment decisions.
A commercial vendor may have a referral relationship with this site without being an official test provider, and without controlling or approving the website’s independent articles. It would be misleading to say we have no relationship with all commercial sellers while using their paid referral links.
Advertising or a vendor referral does not establish that:
- the product contains genuine, leaked or confidential questions from an actual assessment;
- the product is required to apply, endorsed by a recruitment authority or recognised as official training;
- the claimed test coverage, scoring or duration matches the employer’s actual invitation;
- the vendor can guarantee an ATSA or FEAST score, NAV CANADA selection, interview, training place or job;
- a star score from a seller or an earlier editorial article establishes a verified independent pass rate.
Official instructions and current assessment invitations take priority over promotional claims.
Sponsored outbound links and analytics
Google recommends rel="sponsored" for advertising and paid placements, with nofollow also recognised. We apply that principle to relevant commercial outbound links. A technically qualified link is useful for search engines, but clear human-readable commission disclosure near the offer remains necessary.
The site’s current generated pages load Google Analytics 4 (GA4). Its JavaScript may attempt to send an affiliate_click event on certain qualifying sponsored links with the destination, domain, partner, originating page and placement. That measures a possible website interaction, not a seller’s checkout, cookie assignment, a paid conversion or commission.
Our Privacy Policy describes these data categories and the limits of the review. A sitewide technical consent issue remains open: the audited source includes the GA4 loader before an on-site consent choice and does not include a tested consent banner or Google Consent Mode default. These advertising terms do not fix that loading behavior or certify compliance with cookie regulations.
If additional ad networks, tracking pixels or sponsored campaigns are activated, their real providers, purposes, consent requirements and data processing must be assessed and disclosed; their existence must not be inferred from a general possibility.
What you should verify before buying
Understand which stage of your official assessment you are preparing for and check whether a vendor’s course includes it. Verify the seller’s current purchase page for the exact modules, access period, device support, price and currency, automatic renewal, cancellation, refund rules and contact information.
Our JobTestPrep FEAST review distinguishes FEAST I preparation from FEAST II. Our ATC Preparation review discusses renewing access conditions. Our pilot preparation directory warns against reading historical airline names as current recruitment evidence.
We cannot control external providers’ sales pages, cookies or checkout processes. A commercial link does not replace the separate third party’s terms and privacy policy; the Terms of Use explain our own site’s educational role and limitations.
Corrections, updates and contact
Vendor ownership, referral rules, offers, official test stages and advertising technology can change. A date marked updated on our page records an editorial edit or defined check, not a guarantee that every vendor’s offer, tracking system or contract was tested that day.
If you find an undisclosed paid placement, a misleading affiliate description, a broken vendor URL, an unsupported score, a sponsored page presented as independent or a false official-endorsed claim, please contact us with the page URL and current supporting source.
Our Editorial Policy, Affiliate Disclosure, Review Policy, Privacy Policy and Terms of Use describe related standards. We aim to investigate substantiated reports but cannot promise a fixed response time or continuous real-time review.
This policy remains publicly accessible from the site’s footer and retains noindex, follow, consistent with the other legal and editorial policies. The search directive does not conceal the page from visitors or establish Google’s live indexing verdict.
