Yup, with all of that time off you will certainly need much more review time. And aviation is more complex now than in the days of the seven hour solo*. Next winter be sure to do at least some flying. If nothing else, the world looks completely different, and more deliberate planning is required, all of which help develop new skills.

* I did mine in six hours. BUT! After every lesson the instructor would usually have a freight charter, so I'd get to go along in an Apache or 310 and get to fly most of the way, so I actually had maybe 20 hours twin time unlogged as well. I had some pretty patient and generous instructors, but that was 43 years and 30,000+ hours ago.

Oh! This will annoy you: Cessna 172 dual in 1970: $16.00/hr. High school kid wage:$3.10
