Getting back after time out

Hey everyone!

I have a PPL which I haven't exercised since 2014 before the transition to Part 61 and have gotten myself into a position now where I am able to start my CPL training. I've already gotten the ball rolling by studying each of the CPL subjects with Bob Tait's books and organising my medical but I was a little confused as to whether or not I had to transition to a Part 61 licence or if the transition was completed automatically. I've logged on to CASA self-service and it shows my PPL A as being active as well as a PPL A - Part 5 Record (both of which have the same date).

Apart from that, I was just curious if anyone had any general pointers or things to be aware of returning to flying after such a long period out since something tells me it's not like riding a bike (which I also haven't done in a while.....)

Any advice is really appreciated!
