Back to the original question
Minimum requirements for revalidation of a PPL, a Proficiency check every 24 months.
Cost 1 hours flying plus examiners fee (£65 quoted by Beagle)
Procedure go to any UK Flight Examiner.
What you probably meant is, what are the requirements for revalidation of a PPL:
Either, 12 hours flying in the last 12 months of the 24 month validity period, to include 6 hours PIC, 12 take offs and landings as the flying pilot and a 1 hour training flight with an instructor; or, a proficiency check with an examiner in the 3 months preceeding expiry.
If you have passed the validity date your rating has expired and you will have to do a proficiency check to renew your rating, note the 5 year rule quoted above.
The 13 month certificate system ceased on 1 Jan 1999 and for the next 12 months renewal was based upon 5 hours experience in the previous 13 months. The revalidation was recorded on a new form FCL150CJAR which goes in your licence not the log book. This rating is valid for 24 months for Single Engine Piston aeroplanes. The big difference is that it must be revalidated before the expiry date!!! You may revalidate early with no loss of time as the next expiry date will be 24 months from the initial one.
Another point you may have missed is that in order to carry passengers you must have executed 3 take offs and landings in the previous 90 days. ANO Schedule 8
