✍️ Sample FEAST Questions & Answers

1. When two adjacent aircraft tracks on a radar display are very close together and their labels overlap, the visual challenge for the controller is best described as:

✓ Figure-ground segregation failure — difficulty separating individual tracks (figures) from the combined label clutter (ground)

When aircraft tracks and labels overlap, figure-ground segregation (distinguishing each track as a distinct figure from the cluttered background) becomes difficult.

2. A controller detects a conflict between two aircraft where a heading change for Aircraft A would resolve the conflict but would take it into a third aircraft's path. The most appropriate action is to:

✓ Resolve the original conflict using a level change or a coordinated combination of instructions to all three aircraft

When the obvious resolution creates a secondary conflict, a different resolution method (level change) or coordinated instructions must be used to avoid creating new problems.

3. The aviation term 'en route' most nearly means:

✓ Traveling between the departure point and the destination

'En route' describes the phase of flight when an aircraft is traveling from its origin toward its destination, between departure and arrival.

4. A METAR reads: 'EGLL 151220Z 24018G30KT 9999 BKN025 15/08 Q1005 NOSIG.' What does 'NOSIG' mean?

✓ No significant change to weather is expected within the next two hours

'NOSIG' is a METAR trend element meaning 'no significant change' to conditions is forecast over the next two hours.

5. How many miles apart are New York City and Cleveland if it takes N74985 (280 MPH) one hour and thirty minutes to fly between them?

✓ 420

To find the distance, multiply the speed by the time. The plane flies at 280 MPH for one hour and thirty minutes, which is equivalent to 1.5 hours. So, 280 MPH multiplied by 1.5 hours equals 420 miles.

6. An attentional blink occurs when:

✓ A second target is missed if it appears within 200–500 ms of a first target in a rapid stream

Attentional blink is a psychological phenomenon where a second target in a rapid visual stream is missed if it appears shortly after the first.
