✍️ 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. What is the primary purpose of the Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS)?

✓ To warn pilots of conflicting traffic and provide resolution advisories

TCAS warns pilots of potential mid-air collisions and issues resolution advisories (RAs) to increase vertical separation.

3. 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.

4. What does 'Class B airspace' typically surround in the United States?

✓ The nation's busiest airports

Class B airspace surrounds the nation's busiest airports and requires an ATC clearance to enter.

5. 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.

6. 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.
