study habits
I'm wondering if some of you guys can give me some of your best tips for remembering and understanding aviation related subjects.
i.e. airplane speeds, weights, procedures.

Yep, I have troubles with the rote memorization, and the only thing that will really help is flashcards. For things like procedures, come up with an acronym or some way of remembering the steps, and keep repeating it.

If you are memorizing flows and emergency procedures that you will have to recall while flying the airplane/sim, you need to practice regurgitating them while playing loud music and bouncing a basketball or tennis ball so you get the multi-tasking aspect down.
If you memorize those kinds of things off of paper in a normal study environment, then you will find that you can't recall them when you are really busy.

Everything everybody has said is great advice. Just some food for thought. Aviation is a huge learning process. You will be forever learning in this industry. The day you stop learning, is the day you need to get the heck outa the cockpit. This doesn't mean you have to rattle your brains every night with reading, but keep it casual, and do it because you love it. Review your systems, and proceedures after you learn something --- don't cram, but space it out. I have only been in the industry for about 5 years, but it has helped me tremendously.

Thanks guy! I've overnight memorized the full emergency checklists and speeds for the aircraft. I sort of adapted your ideas to include the girlfriend. What i did is the flashcards first and then while driving to/from work I made it a little game to see if she can catch me in a bind.

That's awesome that you memorized the Emergency Checklists, but REMEMBER...it is there for a reason - so you don't forget pertinent items that must be completed. Don't forget to use it.
