PPL Revalidation - Advice
Hello,
Looking for some advice.
For a few reasons, I’ve not flown for about 8 years now and I am finally back in a position to revalidate my licence.
I attained my PPL at the age of 18 and in the space of around 2 years logged about 200 hours in command.
Ive contacted a few schools in the South West area and they advise it’s just a case of flying with an instructor until competent and then a test again.
Obviously the theoretical knowledge has slipped to the back of my mind since I last flew. Before I take lessons again and short of studying every single theory book, what can I do to revise the vital knowledge needed to go into the lessons prepared again and not need countless hours of ground school to cover the basics again.
many advice recommended?
Or do I really need to go into the full detail again and refresh myself on the Chicago convention backstory lol

Prob best to repost this in Private Flying section.
As an aside how about asking around your local airfield to see about a couple of right seat trips to get a feel for flying again?
