So I'm currently preparing myself to take the FOI Knowledge Exam, and having read the Aviation Instructor's Handbook from front to back twice, I find it hard to retain all that information. That is to say, it's not that the material isn't important, but the book can be somewhat lackluster when it comes to holding my attention. And the FAA expects all instructors to know so much of it by heart.
So aside from cramming all the information into my head through sheer force, I've been cobblying together as many of these concepts into a "mnemonics database" of sort (got the idea from the part of the AIH about mnenomics and memory retention, ironically). Some of them are already well known, but others I've made up along the way. Despite seeming nonsensical in meaning, they've helped me recall the information much better than without.
I'll post whatever else that I can craft as it comes to mind, but if anyone has any of their own mnemonics, or would like to use mine, please feel free to share them!
