Flying Backwards?

Bit embarrassing this:

Can anyone tell me what is carried out or required on a basic light aircraft competency check?

I have all sorts of licences and type ratings but haven't flown for four years on medical grounds. I'm just getting that sorted and have started flying with a friend in his light single. It would seem prudent if I activated a PPL.

The last light aircraft I flew was a Cessna 206 some thirty years ago. (If you don't count positioning in A320's without passengers or crew-as I always thought that was light enough for me!).

My last comp check on small stuff was a DH82(a) in 1958 so things may have changed a bit.

As there isn't a "Wanabee" forum for ex airline captains who want to fly Cessna's...any help would be appreciated. That way I can appear to be a bit sharp when I turn up at the flying club!
