Did my LPC yesterday, as my PPL (A) expired at the end of April and as our a/c went tech I wasn't able to do the 'by experience' renewal.
However, the LPC is not that big a deal, a short 'a' to 'b' nav test (about 20nm) stalls in clean and landing configurations, steep turns, PFL, simulated EFAT and then a few circuits.
Whole thing took just under one hour.
The guy I took it with was a retired commercial pilot with just under 73,000 hours, and told me to look upon it as a traning exercise rather than a test.
He did actually pick up on a couple of minor bad habits I have picked up over the last two years.......
