The FAA's pass mark is 70%. Since 2018 it has selected candidates only from the 85%+ bands. Most prep aims at the pass. This app aims at the band.
The FAA's assessment, EUROCONTROL FEAST, NATS, NAV CANADA and Airservices Australia were all built independently — and they all converge on the same constructs.
Headings, relative bearings, mental rotation, and seeing the picture from another cockpit.
Ground speed, ETA, closure rate and descent maths — in your head, against a clock.
Spot the rule in a series of numbers, letters or figures, then extend it.
Hold values, update them as they change, and still do the arithmetic.
Two rules at once, plus a background count you must not drop. The discriminator.
Deduction, conditionals, ordering puzzles and analogies.
Three things arrive at once. Which do you deal with first?
Find the one value out of place on a busy board — fast.
Phonetics, headings, runway numbering, Zulu time, flight levels, separation.
| Band | Score | What it actually means |
|---|---|---|
| Best Qualified | 90%+ | Prioritised. The score to aim for. |
| Well Qualified | 85–89% | The FAA's published requirement. |
| Qualified | 70–84% | A pass — but not a band the FAA has hired from since 2018. |
| Below | under 70% | Fails. |
