# FEAST RADAR and DART: 2026 FEAST II Guide > FEAST II RADAR explained: current EUROCONTROL guidance, older DART wording, free-practice limits and an original monitoring exercise with answers. Canonical: https://www.atcpracticetest.com/feast/feast-dynamic-radar-test/ Site guide: https://www.atcpracticetest.com/llms.txt **EUROCONTROL’s current FEAST candidate information names RADAR as a FEAST II work-sample test.** Some candidates are also invited to **MULTI-PASS**, a separate multitasking test. Your recruiting organisation chooses the battery, so there is no universal sequence for every candidate. If you searched for **DART**, you are in the right place to understand the terminology. However, that word appears in older preparation discussions and descriptions of commercial training software. **Do not assume DART and the current FEAST RADAR have identical interfaces, rules or scoring.** Start with [EUROCONTROL’s candidate information](https://feast-info.eurocontrol.int/) and your actual invitation. ## What EUROCONTROL confirms about FEAST RADAR The [official FEAST candidate site](https://feast-info.eurocontrol.int/) describes the following for FEAST II: Question What candidates can rely on Which work samples? **RADAR** and, possibly, **MULTI-PASS** Do both always appear? **No.** The recruiter can select one or two tests What do they assess? Multitasking and applying instructions in more complex work samples How long? EUROCONTROL says the tests take roughly **1.5-2 hours**; do not assume that is your entire appointment length Do I need ATC experience? **No.** These tests are designed for candidates without prior ATC knowledge Will instructions be provided? **Yes.** Explanations, examples and a sample item precede the test **FEAST III is different:** it is an optional personality questionnaire, not another name for the RADAR or MULTI-PASS work samples. Your recruiter may also use interviews and other selection methods. See [FEAST II overview](/feast/feast-part-2/) for the wider sequence. ## Free official FEAST practice: what is and is not included [EUROCONTROL’s training platform](https://feast-training.eurocontrol.int/) is **free** and requires a personal account. Its [official FAQ](https://feast-training.eurocontrol.int/en/faq/) says that it covers **almost all FEAST I exercises, but no FEAST II tests**. It is the **only FEAST preparation software authorised by EUROCONTROL**. This means you cannot use that platform to rehearse the actual RADAR assessment. Commercial software is developed without EUROCONTROL’s authorisation, so the interface, exercises and rules may be different from those in an official testing session. Do not pay for a product on the assumption that its module is an exact FEAST II replica. **Image note:** The illustration on this page is credited in this site’s media register to **SkyTest’s commercial FEAST 2 Strip Display Management training software**. It is **not** an official EUROCONTROL RADAR screen. Strip Display Management is a separate vendor module name, not proof of the current official FEAST II interface. ## RADAR, older DART references and commercial module names The public [SkyTest European ATCO catalogue](https://www.skytest.com/ATCO-Air-Traffic-Controller.htm) separately names _Dynamic Radar Test_, _Radar Control Test_, _Multi Control Test_ and _Strip Display Management Test_. These are **SkyTest marketing/product labels**, not a list of FEAST II tests confirmed for your recruiting organisation. Older independent pages may use _DART_ for dynamic radar-related practice. The [current EUROCONTROL page](https://feast-info.eurocontrol.int/) instead says **RADAR** and possibly **MULTI-PASS**. Nothing in these names establishes that historical, commercial and currently administered tasks are interchangeable. Resource Appropriate use What it does **not** establish Official EUROCONTROL FEAST candidate guidance Current FEAST II names, general scope, test administration Your employer’s exact combination of stages EUROCONTROL free FEAST training Authorised familiarisation with FEAST I principles A FEAST II RADAR simulator Commercial _Dynamic Radar_ or _Radar Control_ modules Optional, independent practice with vendor-designed tasks Equivalent tests, scoring or layouts This site’s practice exercise below Rule-reading and change-monitoring habits A real FEAST item or performance prediction ## Try an original monitoring exercise **Independent educational exercise - not an official FEAST II question or radar simulator.** Imagine a display with positions measured on a fictional horizontal line. A **red** symbol triggers an alert only if it moves from **x = 7 or below** to **above x = 7** between two updates. An amber symbol never triggers this alert, even if it crosses the line. Movement in the other direction does not count. Symbol Colour Position at 10:00 Position at 10:01 A Red 5 8 B Amber 4 9 C Red 9 6 D Red 6 10 **Question:** Which symbols should trigger an alert after the update? Answer before reading the explanation. **Answer: A and D.** Both red symbols cross from x = 7 or below to above x = 7. **B** crosses but is amber, so it does not count. **C** moves in the opposite direction, so it does not count. There is no aircraft separation rule or operational ATC knowledge in this invented exercise: the task is to read the supplied rule, track changes and ignore distractions. Try a second round by replacing the rule with _alert on red symbols that move from x greater than 7 to x = 7 or below_. Under that **new** rule, **C** is the only alert. An essential habit is to apply the **current** rules, not the ones you remember from a different task. For other original, **unofficial** examples, see [FEAST sample questions](/feast/feast-sample-questions/). That page is not a substitute for EUROCONTROL FEAST II material. ## Practical preparation without memorising a simulator 1. **Start with the invitation.** Confirm which stages your organisation administers, and in which order. 2. **Study the current FEAST II explanation.** Learn the distinction between RADAR, optional MULTI-PASS and FEAST III before looking at vendor packages. 3. **Practise rule-reading.** Work with a new set of rules, explain which condition triggered a response, then add time pressure only after you understand the logic. 4. **Monitor changing information.** Compare two updates and identify which items actually satisfy the stated rule rather than reacting to every movement. 5. **Review errors methodically.** Keep a short record of rules you misread; do not claim that scores in unofficial drills predict FEAST selection results. 6. **Rest before the real test.** The official administrator provides examples and instructions. Adapt to those instructions even if they differ from commercial practice. For the wider preparation sequence, use [FEAST test prep](/feast/feast-test-prep/), [FEAST MULTI-PASS](/feast/feast-multipass/) and [FEAST II overview](/feast/feast-part-2/). ## Preparation resources - optional commercial FEAST II practice The following are **third-party, commercial** resources. This site may receive a commission from purchases made through these links. **None is authorised by EUROCONTROL as FEAST training, and none is verified here as a replica of the current official RADAR test.** Prices, modules and licence terms should be checked directly with the vendor before purchase. - [ATC Preparation FEAST software](https://atcpreparation.com/feast-preparation-software?ac=atcpracticetest) - an independent preparation product.

Compare the edition and your invitation before buying; use the [SkyTest review](/reviews/skytest-review/). An **ATSA** course, English-language-only course or personality-questionnaire-only course is not evidence of RADAR training and is deliberately **not recommended as a RADAR-specific purchase** here. ## Sources and verification limits - EUROCONTROL, [FEAST for candidates](https://feast-info.eurocontrol.int/) - the current naming, testing scope and general rules. - EUROCONTROL, [official FEAST training FAQ](https://feast-training.eurocontrol.int/en/faq/) - FEAST I coverage, no FEAST II training and non-authorisation of commercial products. - EUROCONTROL, [free FEAST training platform](https://feast-training.eurocontrol.int/) - free personal-account access. - SkyTest, [European ATCO commercial product catalogue](https://www.skytest.com/ATCO-Air-Traffic-Controller.htm) - **vendor descriptions only**, not an official FEAST source. **Editorial check date: 4 November 2026.** The factual comparison is based on public official information and vendor descriptions.
