Find your cognitive ceiling.
A fast-paced cognitive stress test inspired by real Air Traffic Controller selection. Manage aircraft. Make split-second decisions. Watch your stats reveal where your brain breaks. Built by an ATC trainee. Free on iOS and Android.
Built by someone who passed the test
Most ATC games are built by developers who watched a YouTube video about air traffic control. AirMind is different.
- Trained as an ATC at Warsaw Chopin Airport (PANSA — Poland's Air Navigation Services Agency)
- Passed the FEAST and DART selection exams
- The hardest cognitive scenario from real selection — faithfully gamified
The number-classification-under-pressure test is the cognitive heart of FEAST and ATSA. We didn't make it look like the test — we made it feel like the test, then layered weather systems and ATC career progression on top so you'll keep coming back.
It's the same scenario that breaks most candidates in the real exam. If you can hold up under AirMind's pressure, you have a real signal of how you'd hold up in selection.
Get the appThe two stats nobody else measures. Decision-making and stress-handling.
Decision-making is easy to track. Stress-handling — your ability to recover after a mistake — is what real controllers actually need, and almost no game measures it. AirMind measures both, every session.
01 Real selection, faithfully gamified
The number-classification-under-pressure test is the cognitive heart of FEAST and ATSA. We didn't make it look like the test — we made it feel like the test, then layered weather systems and ATC career progression on top.
02 Stress-handling: the hidden controller skill
How quickly do you make a good decision after making a bad one? Real controllers can't afford to spiral. We track this every session — almost no other game does.
03 No tricks. No paywalls. No interstitials.
Every event is visible — no off-screen losses. Pause anytime. Rewarded ads only, when you want them. We don't sell your stress back to you.
How to play
One mistake can change everything. Three loops, layered on top of each other.
Sort the numbers
A number appears. You have a second or two to assign it to the correct range. Think fast — every decision moves the aircraft.
Keep it flying
Correct decisions climb. Mistakes lose altitude. Side wind cuts your time. Turbulence rewrites the rules. Storms layer extra logic on top of every number.
Build your career
Track decision-making and stress-handling stats. Climb from Cadet to Senior Supervisor. Unlock aircraft from biplanes to F-16s.
What's inside
Six things you actually use, not six things in a marketing deck.
Multiple airports
Paris, London, New York and more — each level changes pace, distance, and pressure profile.
Three weather systems
Side wind cuts your reaction window. Turbulence rewrites the ranges. Storms add an extra logic rule.
Real-time analytics
Decision-making and stress-handling tracked every session. See where your brain breaks under pressure.
ATC career ranks
Cadet → Junior Controller → Officer → Lead → Senior Supervisor. Promotions are earned, not gifted.
Unlockable aircraft
Six aircraft from vintage biplanes to modern F-16s. Each one is earned by performance — not microtransactions.
Endless free-ride
No level cap. Push past your previous score. Train the same skills the real exam tests, on your schedule.
For selection candidates
Useful prep for FAA ATSA, Eurocontrol FEAST, NATS, NavCanada, PANSA, and SkyTest candidates.
For everyone curious
Curious how your brain handles real pressure? Find your decision-making and stress-handling ceiling.
Can you think clearly when every second matters?
Track your Decision Making and Stress Handling as the pressure rises with every level. By the end, you'll know whether you stay sharp under pressure — or crack when it matters most.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers, no fluff.
Is AirMind free?
Yes. Free on Google Play and the App Store. Rewarded ads only — never interstitials, never paywalls. No "remove ads" purchase that holds the game hostage.
Will this actually help me pass FEAST or ATSA?
It practices the same cognitive skills the real exams test: rapid number classification under time pressure, multi-rule context switching, working memory, and recovery from mistakes. It is not an official prep course and not affiliated with FAA, Eurocontrol, NATS, NavCanada or PANSA — but the underlying scenario is faithful to selection.
What's "stress-handling" and why does it matter?
It's how quickly you make a good decision after making a bad one. Real controllers can't afford to spiral after a mistake. Decision-making tells you how often you're right; stress-handling tells you whether one error breaks the next ten. Almost no other game measures it.
Who built this?
A solo developer who trained as an air traffic controller at Warsaw Chopin Airport (PANSA) and passed the FEAST and DART selection exams. The hardest cognitive scenario from real selection is exactly what AirMind gamifies.
iOS and Android?
Both. Same game, same progression, same scoring on either platform.
