The validity period for all PPLs regardless of whether they were issued as CAA or JAR is 24 months. This would have commenced from the date of the first 'normal' 13 month renewal after 01/06/99. You will require 12 months P1 in the 12 months preceding the expiry date of the C of E (of which 6 may be 'under supervision'), and this is to include a bi-annual currency check with an instructor. Once the requirements have been met, it is simply up to a kindly passing CFI to sign/stamp your log book and licence. If you cannot meet these requirements, then rather more unpleasant things start to happen.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
