PANSA · Eurocontrol FEAST
Applying to PANSA in Poland?
PANSA (Polish Air Navigation Services Agency) is responsible for civil and military ATC across Polish airspace, including Warsaw Chopin Airport and rapidly expanding regional hubs. Poland sits on a major east-west European air corridor and has seen significant growth in air traffic over recent years.
PANSA uses the Eurocontrol FEAST battery to select trainee air traffic controllers. As Polish aviation grows alongside the country's economy, PANSA recruitment has become increasingly competitive, with strong FEAST scores essential for progression.
The FEAST I cognitive tests — spatial reasoning, numerical reasoning, logical reasoning and multitasking — are the primary filter in PANSA's selection process. Candidates who practise all test areas consistently perform significantly better.
ATC Practice provides full-length timed practice tests across all FEAST I test areas in English, giving Polish candidates a structured and effective preparation programme ahead of PANSA selection.

Is the PANSA FEAST test in English or Polish?
The FEAST battery is administered in English, as English is the standard language of ATC worldwide. Some supplementary materials from PANSA may be in Polish, but the core aptitude tests are in English.
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.
