I'm loking to restart my PPL training after a 7 year gap- (currently have 38hrs dual in a PA-28 and 2 solo flights). Obviously it will take a bit of time to get back to the previous standard of 7 yrs ago, but could anyone tell me whether there is a rule which states a minimum number of hours be flow over a recent period of time (i.e.12 months) prior to undertaking the PPL practical test.
