Easy way to remember. Take the three pairs of words:
left, right
port, starboard
red, green

The shorter words go together, and the longer words go together. You could
probably add:
pilot, passenger (or pilot, instructor)

Alternatively:
"Red" and "Right" both start with the same letter. It would sort of
make sense for them to be the same side. Since we're dealing with the
FAA, we can't have *that* sort of logic running around, so switch 'em.

Ditto with the cruising altitudes: "east" and "even" thousands...same
letter...nah, can't be. Swap 'em.

There are a few more that can be worked out that way, but I don't
remember them offhand. Just remember: if it makes sense, it's probably
*not* done by the FAA.
