BULATSA · Eurocontrol FEAST
Applying to BULATSA in Bulgaria?
BULATSA (Bulgaria Air Traffic Services Authority) provides ATC services across Bulgarian airspace and at Sofia International Airport. Bulgaria sits on key east-west and north-south traffic flows connecting Western Europe with Turkey, the Middle East and Asia.
BULATSA uses the Eurocontrol FEAST battery for trainee controller selection, assessing candidates across spatial reasoning, numerical reasoning, logical reasoning and multitasking.
Bulgaria's strategic position on major trans-European routes means BULATSA controllers handle significant transit traffic in addition to domestic movements. Strong aptitude test performance is essential for selection.
ATC Practice provides structured practice across all FEAST I cognitive test areas, helping Bulgarian candidates prepare effectively for the BULATSA selection process.

About the FEAST test
What does the FEAST test measure?
FEAST I measures the core cognitive aptitudes required for successful ATC training: spatial reasoning, numerical ability, logical/abstract reasoning, multitasking, memory and situational judgement. These are proven predictors of ATC performance identified through decades of Eurocontrol research.
How long is the FEAST test?
FEAST I typically takes 2.5–4 hours and covers multiple cognitive test areas. The exact duration depends on which sub-tests the ANSP has chosen to include. FEAST II (if used) adds 1.5–2 hours of interactive multitasking simulations.
How hard is it to pass the FEAST test?
FEAST is a competitive test — pass rates vary by ANSP but only a fraction of applicants advance. Candidates who prepare thoroughly across all cognitive test areas perform significantly better. Familiarity with question formats and timed conditions is a major advantage.
What tests does ATC Practice include?
ATC Practice covers Spatial Reasoning (40 questions, 20 min), Numerical Reasoning (40 questions, 20 min), Logical Reasoning (40 questions, 20 min), Situational Judgement (35 questions, 25 min), NDB Direction (24 questions) and Switch — a dual-task simulation. All tests are timed and full-length.
