Jason, If the examiner packages the prof. check well, and you complete each profile correctly, then it will take 35-40mins. If you are a little rusty then bank on an hours flying. Remember, if you do the prof. check within 3 months before the renewal date you will not lose any time left on the licence. ie. you will be signed up for another 2 years from the previous expiry not the test you have just done. It is a very watered down old style GFT. And yes you don't need to do 12 hours. Its taking a lot of people a lot of time to realise this so spread the word! If you want the profile, I can esplain it to you.
