Revalidation cockup!
I've had my PPL for about 3 years now - flying pretty regularly (approx 100 hours post-PPL now). After about 20 months flying I bought into a group aircraft and was checked out by an instructor who signed my logbook etc... Unfortunately I was confused and thought this was what was required for license revalidation. Bottom line is that I now find out that my license wasn't revalildated and I've effectively been flying unlicensed for some time. Obviously i now want to get myself revalidated asap - ie before flying again! Do I simply contact a local instructor and get him to test me and sign me off?
Thanks for your help in advance guys!

Always look at the dates and count the hours. If you need to get a too early sign off, do it. You get no points for crap WX or U/S aircraft.
Anyway, apart from needless expense, you did it once so you can do it again. Relax.

Thanks for the advice. Managed to get a local instructor who had access to a C150 to check me out. All quite relaxed and actually good fun. It showed me how much I had progressed as a pilot - found all the exercises so much easier than when I was doing my PPL training / skills test - despite being in an unfamiliar a/c.
