SAA CPL Expired
I would like to get back into flying. I hold a South African CAA CPL ME IR which has lapsed. The last time I flew was 2010. What would be the requirements to get my license back on track?

Your medical should have lapsed as well. You'd need to renew it.
If I remember correctly, SACAA law requires ground school hours, IROP theory exam and Air Law for licences that have lapsed by more than 36 months
You'd also have to redo the flight test as though it was an initial one for your ME-IR.
Honestly, your best bet would be calling your local flight school and asking them

How did it go, mine has lapsed too as life changed, but now wonder if I should fly again.
Might just do my medical and the ground school first and then think of the flying possibilities.
Have been instructing ground schools for some years, but sorta bored of it now.
