FEAST Service News (First European ATCO Selection Test) |
|
The First European Air Traffic Controller Selection Test (FEAST) Service provides a harmonised and cost effective tool to assist ATC recruiters with the critical task of selecting ATC trainees. The aim is to assess the knowledge, skills and abilities of applicants that are necessary for the ATC job to ultimately optimise the success rate during controller training. The tests are made available to accredited users in civil and military Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) within the ECAC area.
FEAST continues to be a well used and supported set of tools. There are now nearly 17.000 candidates in the database with a customer base of 25 ANSPs. During the coming year, several new users are expected to implement and use FEAST. 2009 marked the successful completion of two important performance reports. One is a report on the economic impact of FEAST and the second is a predictive validation study which measures the predictive power of the FEAST tests in selecting the best candidates with the best chance of successfully completing ATC training. Two User Group meetings were held during 2009 in Malmo and in Bucharest
As from 1 January 2010, the FEAST Service has been relocated with the CND Directorate and will now reside in the Network Development pillar as part of the Air Traffic Management Services group. So a figurative goodbye to all our colleagues in the Human Performance COE. Happily, we will still see them every day though.
As from 1 January, Michelle Nilles has joined the FEAST team.

Fabrice Drogoul has taken over HF Case project management from Mike Nendick. Plans for further development in 2010 include the publication of Edition 3 of the HF Case deliverable and the release of a brand new version of the HF Case e-tool (V3) to support the application of the HF Case Process in the field.
The HP team will continue to support ANSPs and other users apply the HF Case process in their projects during 2010. The next HF Case training course at the Institute in Luxembourg is scheduled for May 2010
