MAJOR UPDATE
New: Level Progression
A new level system takes every module from the basics up to full exam pressure. Clear one level to unlock the next.
ATC Aptitude Test & Simulator
ATSA Exam Preparation Practice
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Train every cognitive skill the ATSA measures. 22 research-grade modules, authentic radar simulations, and per-format diagnostic insights no other app delivers.
Pass the ATSA. Become an Air Traffic Controller. Master the FAA's Air Traffic Skills Assessment with the most comprehensive training app built for US ATC candidates. 22 cognitive modules. 6 cognitive domains. Built on validated psychometric research not generic brain games.
If you're applying through the FAA hiring process, your career depends on the ATSA. ATC Aptitude Test trains every cognitive skill the test measures and reveals diagnostic insights no other app provides.
ATSA CORE MODULES
DYNAMIC RADAR → Air Traffic Scenarios
Real-time radar simulation with authentic sectors, callsigns, and conflict resolution. The closest thing to actual ATSA scenarios you'll find outside the testing center.
CUBE ROTATION → Visual Relationships
3D mental rotation training that mirrors the ATSA's aircraft attitude task. Identify rotated cubes against reference orientations under hard time pressure.
WORKING MEMORY → Memory Variable
Forward and backward digit span plus spatial Corsi tasks measure all three working memory capacities tested by the ATSA Memory Variable subtest.
MENTAL MATH & VARIABLES → Numerical Operations
Pure arithmetic plus variable substitution chains — exactly the format ATSA uses. Six operations across three difficulty tiers with operation-by-operation diagnostics.
LOGIC & REASONING → Logical Reasoning
Matrix completion, visual analogies, odd-one-out detection, and syllogistic logic. The deductive reasoning the ATSA's Logical Reasoning subtest screens for.
READING COMPREHENSION → Reading Comprehension
Aviation-themed passages with inference, main idea, and detail questions under time pressure. Trains the verbal processing required for Day 1 testing.
PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT → Personality
An 80-statement Likert inventory measuring 8 ATC-relevant traits including stress tolerance, decisiveness, and conscientiousness — with consistency and social desirability detection.
SUPPORTING TRAINING
SPEED · DISTANCE · TIME Operational ATC math problems.
NUMBER & LETTER SERIES Inductive pattern recognition.
CUBE FOLDING Mental folding for complete spatial coverage.
SPATIAL ORIENTATION — Pilot-perspective taking from top-down radar view.
CROSS-MODAL ATTENTION Visual and auditory concurrent processing.
RADAR CONTROL Strategic airway routing under traffic load.
DIVIDED ATTENTION Multi-task management with continuous tracking.
EXPANDED COGNITIVE FITNESS
Seven optional modules build your broader cognitive base: Monitoring (subitizing), Vigilance (sustained attention), Sorting (cognitive flexibility), Coordinate System (chart reading), Agility (reaction time), Error Detection (rapid scanning), and Verbal Reasoning.
WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT
Per-format diagnostic insights every test breaks down by subskill, not just one percentage
Authentic radar simulations real sectors, real callsigns, real conflicts. Not abstract puzzles.
Research-grade signature metrics Rotation Cost Curves, Multi-Rule Accuracy, Personality Profiles, and more
Scientific foundation built on Raven (1938), Kozhevnikov & Hegarty (2001), and 60+ years of psychometric research
Daily 5–15 minute sessions with measurable progress curves
The FAA receives thousands of ATC applications per cycle. Few candidates know what the test actually measures. Fewer train deliberately. ATC Aptitude Test puts you in the top percentile of preparation the percentile that gets through.
