What you're up against

The ATSA has 7 sections. We cover all of them.

The Air Traffic Skills Assessment is less a knowledge test than a wiring test, speed, memory, and judgment under time pressure. Here's the shape of it.

01

Number Differences

Memory chains on the numpad, the difference between digits, at speed.

02

Memory Variables

Hold variable values and solve equations without seeing them again.

03

Visual Relationships

Judge aircraft positions from shifting points of view.

04

ATC Simulation

Prevent collisions on a moving radar display while solving math.

05

Word Problems

Deductive logic, landing orders and rule-based constraints.

06

Reading & Analysis

Extract the right conclusion fast from dense passages.

07

Personality (OPQ)

The behavioral profile the FAA screens for.

All 7, one program
