unfortunately learning pages and pages of information verbatim is something you guys will have to look forward to at the college, i dont mean 1 or 2 pages but at least 10 times that amount, text and stats, again it doesn't relate to the actual controlling aspect of the job but taking in and retaining information is a massive quality of being an atco. i doubt very few operational staff would know which route a 777-300 would fly, let alone know what 1 looks like
try making your own "top trumps" style cards to help retain aircraft information, helped a lot during my training, makes learning fun too
