You passed the FAA knowledge test. You also forgot 40% of what you learned within 30 days and 60% in six months. Don't panic. It's the forgetting curve, measured since 1885 and confirmed in pilots by Casner (2007) and Childs (1983). This talk walks through decades of aviation retention research, shows why no published study has yet mapped forgetting curves to specific aviation knowledge domains, and demonstrates the fix: spaced repetition algorithms that stop the decay.
