Interesting, in (some) other countries the written test has a limited
validity and you have only a few years grace before you hare to retake
them if you don't complete the training in that period.

It expires here as well if you don't complete the certification. *However,
the OP stated that he was "licensed" back in the day.


OK thanks.

Cheers

It's the same here in the US. But I don't believe the OP had NOT
finished his training. BT's comment was just to clear up any possible
misconception after responders suggested what amounted to redoing the
ground school portion of training as a way to reacquaint him to
aviation.

I'll second this recommendation. I got it not too long ago, and it was
really good at bringing my knowledge level up to date.

The actual physical part of flying will come back pretty well, if you're
like me. I've gottan 4 hours of dual so far, and will get another 5 more
before I first solo N55ZC - but that's as much because that's what the
insurance company will want (5 hours dual in the aircraft) as it is because
that's what I think I need.
