FEAST 2 (FEAST II) is the later FEAST stage focused on complex multitasking and work-sample tests. The current EUROCONTROL candidate information names RADAR and MULTI-PASS. After FEAST I, candidates may be invited to one or two of these tests, depending on the recruiting organisation. No previous air traffic control knowledge is required.

EUROCONTROL’s free official FEAST training platform covers almost all FEAST I exercises, but no FEAST II tests, according to its FAQ. It is the only FEAST preparation software authorised by EUROCONTROL. Use FEAST I for those fundamentals and treat all third-party preparation as independent, not official.

Image note: The radar-style screenshot above is credited in this site’s media register to SkyTest’s commercial FEAST 2 Radar Control training software. It is not an official EUROCONTROL FEAST II test screen and should not be used to infer the real RADAR interface.

What EUROCONTROL actually says about FEAST II

The official FEAST candidate site describes up to two work-sample tests after successful FEAST I:

Current official name Is it always taken? What EUROCONTROL confirms
RADAR Part of the FEAST II work-sample offering A more complex test of multitasking, with detailed rules and examples given before testing
MULTI-PASS Possibly included alongside RADAR Another multitasking work sample; the candidate may be asked to perform several tasks at once

EUROCONTROL’s candidate FAQ says these work-sample tests take roughly 1.5 to 2 hours. This is not a universal appointment duration: the recruiting organisation decides which modules are used and how the phases are scheduled. The candidate website also describes FEAST III as a separate optional personality questionnaire, not another name for FEAST II.

No prior ATC or aviation procedure knowledge is needed. EUROCONTROL says the tests are designed for beginners, and test administrators provide instructions, worked examples and a sample question before the assessment. There is no reason to learn operational separation minima or radar phraseology to infer your test instructions.

Current naming matters: the live EUROCONTROL page calls the work sample RADAR. The term DART still appears in some older FEAST material and independent preparation guides, including this site’s related article. Do not assume that the names prove identical test versions, interfaces or task rules. Refer to your current official invitation.

How FEAST II differs from FEAST I

FEAST I emphasises foundational cognitive ability and English language testing. FEAST II shifts toward combined workload: monitoring changing information, applying rules, prioritising, and maintaining accuracy under pressure.

Dimension FEAST I FEAST II
Skills emphasis Memory, attention, reasoning, spatial skills, English Multitasking, dynamic monitoring, prioritisation
Task style Often discrete aptitude items Often integrated, operationally styled scenarios
Prerequisites Entry stage for many pathways Generally after FEAST I success
Module detail FEAST I overview This page

FEAST II can feel more ATC-like, but it screens aptitude for training; it is not an assessment of certified controller performance.

RADAR, DART and MULTI-PASS: names and scope

Use the current official term RADAR for the work sample named by EUROCONTROL’s candidate site. DART is a name encountered in older discussions and this site’s independent radar-style guide. We do not claim the historical and current tests have identical rules or screens.

These linked guides explain concepts, not secured test interfaces. EUROCONTROL says the actual instructions and example items are explained before each test, so prepare to learn the rules on the day, instead of memorising online screenshots.

What makes FEAST II feel different

The challenge is less about one isolated skill and more about keeping several things under control at once. In practice, that means being able to:

  • switch attention between concurrent demands
  • apply rules consistently while information changes
  • prioritise when multiple items need action
  • recover from errors without losing overall control
  • stay calm when pace increases

Prepare transferable habits rather than memorising interfaces marketed as unofficial “replicas”.

Preparing for FEAST II

EUROCONTROL does not provide FEAST II tests on its free authorised FEAST training platform. The official FAQ also cautions that third-party preparation may differ from real FEAST assessments. Practical preparation should stay conservative:

  1. Make sure you understand FEAST I and your organisation’s invitation before assuming a FEAST II module.
  2. Read our MULTI-PASS and radar-style skills (DART terminology) guides as unofficial introductions. EUROCONTROL’s current name for the radar work sample is RADAR.
  3. Practise multitasking, prioritisation, monitoring and rule application without trying to memorise a supposed replica.
  4. Read the live instructions carefully; EUROCONTROL provides instructions and a sample item, and warns that tasks can differ from practice resources.
  5. Do not infer an official pass mark from independent practice scores.

Try an original three-minute multitasking drill

This is an original educational drill, not a FEAST II task, a radar simulator or a prediction of your FEAST score. It uses invented office-message labels rather than real aircraft separation procedures.

Rules: handle all red alerts before any amber alerts. Within the same colour, deal with the earliest deadline first. You may handle just one item at a time. Read the rules once, then hide them and try the ordering from memory.

Task Alert Deadline
A Red 09:04
B Amber 09:05
C Red 09:02
D Amber 09:01

Question 1: In what order should you handle the four items? Explain why a task with an earlier deadline might still come later.

Question 2: Immediately after completing task C, a new red task E (deadline 09:03) appears. Which task should be handled next?

Answer and reasoning: the initial order is C → A → D → B. Red alerts outrank amber alerts; within each colour, the earlier deadline wins. With the new task E appearing just after C, the next item is E, ahead of A. Deadlines matter within priority levels, not before them.

Try the same exercise again with different deadlines and fewer seconds to decide. This builds practice in applying newly stated rules under competing demands, not in copying copyrighted FEAST content. For more original, non-official general FEAST examples, see FEAST sample questions. These examples do not cover the secure FEAST II tests.

A few things not to read into practice

Do not assume RADAR and MULTI-PASS always appear together, that a historical label guarantees an unchanged interface, or that an independent simulator reproduces either secure test. FEAST II is part of a wider recruitment process, and passing it does not guarantee a training place. The optional FEAST III personality questionnaire is a separate stage, not a FEAST II simulation.
