Adding a Cessna 172 rating to my licence

Hi guys

I'm just wondering whether anyone here has any experience of the minimum training required under EASA to enable me to fly a Cessna 172 on my current licence. I hold a current PPL(A) CPL(A) ATPL(A), with just a 744 IR LV rating on it. Expired ratings include an MEP but I have never held an SEP rating. I did my initial training on Warriors about 17 years ago, but an SEP was never issued.

I also hold a current PPL(H) with an R22 rating so I am up to speed with VFR flight/navigation etc.. Any ideas how much training I might actually need in practice, given that I've not flown a small fixed wing aircraft for over 15 years.

I made initial enquiries to my local flying school a week or so ago, but so far I've not heard anything back as it is not something they have come across before.

Cheers
GS
