I just checked with my helicopter instructor the answer is sufficent training to be able to pass a proficency check.This should not include any navigation just the flight handling.
To maintain currency after that 2 hours per year to include an LPC, assuming you are flying only one type.

just check to make sure it has run out!! Just because you haven't flown in a year doesn't mean it's lapsed. The new Certificate of Experience is valid for 24 months. Check the date first in your licence. If it has run out then the others are right. Go and brush up and the Examiner with do a renewal test (just a basic flight test). Then he will sign your C of E for the next 24 months. The new rules for the 24 months if anyone is interested are 12 hours with the last 12 months of the 24. 6 must be PIC and 1 hour must be with an instructor.. .Good luck!

First of all check the validity of your single engine piston land rating which should be on your card with your licence, you have 24 months from that date to revalidate the class rating,as mentioned, complete 12 hours TT 6 hours P1 and 6 take offs and landings plus a dual flight with an instructor in the last 12 months of the 24 to revalidate. The instructor will sign your logbook and an examiner will sign your card. If you cannot meet this criteria then it is a RENEWAL which means your class rating has lapsed and you need training as required and a skill test with an examiner, the same content as the dual flight.
