I must have logged at least 70 hours total (dual, solo, private hire) so far and I am only just starting my PPL navs. I must admit, I have done a fair bit of private hire under my recently issued RPL!! I think I racked up near on 10 hours between when I was recommended for the RPL flight test and the actual flight test itself because I already had the bookings... Since then I must be up another 10-15 hours.

I started slowly, flying once a week. Hit a kangaroo on a motorbike at 110kph which laid me out for 8-9 months. When I started back I was up almost everyday and from start to RPL probably 15 hours total.

So dont fret, it took me 3-4 flights to go solo again after 8+ months on the sidelines. You pick it all up pretty quick when you get going again.
