RPL currency
Hey guys & girls,
Just have some questions regarding RPL currency requirements:
I flew for the last couple of years and achieved my RPL with the intention of continuing onto my PPL. Unfortunately, last year a medical condition (kerataconus specifically) put an end to my flying experience. However, recently I got the news that once I get my new contacts I may be able to continue flying after all.
So, assuming I get medical clearance I should be returning next year but i'm not exactly sure of the requirements once I do. Is it just a matter of a couple check flights with an instructor and a BFR? Or will it be an issue of going through the training all over again? Given that my last flight was over 18 months ago.
Cheers guys.

Check CASR Part 61 to satisfy yourself of the situation of course, but licences are perpetual once you've been issued them so what you said is right - with a medical you should be able to do a couple of flights (or however many you need) to get current again and then do a flight review to recommence using the privileges of your licence.
I'll just have a quick look myself to confirm, but I think you will also need a current ASIC or AVID, the old security clearance that we all know and love.
