## Authors and contributors

ATC Practice Test publishes independent educational content for aspiring air traffic controllers.

Our contributors write guides, reviews, comparisons, and career explainers for candidates researching ATSA, FEAST, NAV CANADA assessments, FAA hiring, test preparation, and air traffic controller career paths.

[Richard Mailloux](/authors/richard-mailloux/) is the **lead writer** for ATC Practice Test. He sets editorial direction, oversees major guides and reviews, and contributes across the site’s assessment and career topics.

This site is part of the same independent publisher network as [JobPracticeTests.com](https://www.jobpracticetests.com/) (job-related assessments and hiring preparation), [CCAT Practice Test](https://www.ccatpracticetest.com/), [Tests.School](https://tests.school/), and [TSA Career](https://www.tsacareer.com/).

Contributors do not speak for the FAA, NAV CANADA, Pearson VUE, EUROCONTROL, USAJOBS, JobTestPrep, any air navigation service provider, or any official aviation authority.
