Context-dependent learning

Explanation:

Context-dependent learning can be described as a situation in which ideas, and experiences which have been previously experienced are brought to mind in the same view as of when they were experienced before. A particular thing that is learned in one context will easily be remembered in that same context.

Your friend was able to tell you about his flying experiences when he was up in the air because he was in the plane (context) where he had the flying experience which made him to give proper account of what he had previously encountered.
