After you apply, Airservices asks you to complete online ability tests. Its air traffic control careers FAQ says they measure your ability to follow written instructions, your numerical and verbal reasoning, your spatial awareness, and whether you can work with complicated patterns and check data. The FAQ does not name a test provider, so do not assume it is FEAST or the FAA’s ATSA.
Matching app exercises
| Published ability | Brain Preflight exercises | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Checking data | Same or not | Direct skill practice: compare codes, numbers and records. |
| Spatial awareness | Cube nets, Stacks, 3D objects | Spatial practice. Airservices does not publish its item format. |
| Numerical reasoning | Calculation grid, Logic sequences | Partial: arithmetic and number patterns, not word problems or data interpretation. |
| Complicated patterns | Logic sequences, Sliding shapes | Partial: no figure-matrix or figure-series exercise yet. |
| Following written instructions | Shapes & colors | Partial: applying a visual rule differs from reading written instructions. |
| Verbal reasoning | None | Not covered. The English word games are vocabulary tasks, not verbal reasoning. |
