Implications of not keeping current? What next?
 
Well guys :( due to a hectic two years and a lack of cashflow, I have not done any flying since I got my PPL :ugh:.... What happens now? Do I have to do a full skills test again, or just a checkride with an examiner etc? :(

Assuming that you got your licence two years ago, THAT will still be valid.

Your medical may not be valid depending on your age.

Your Single Engine Piston (Land) Class Rating which would be valid for two years from the date of your PPL skills test will have run out.

Provided that your medical is valid, you just need to pass a flight test with an examiner. After two years this would probably require a little bit of time with an instructor.

You will need to fly either a Licensing Proficiency Check (if the SEP Class Rating included in your licence hasn't yet expired) or a Licensing Skill Test (if it has).

Both are much the same - but we Examiners are supposed to conduct the LST in a more formal manner.

The test itself? Take off, climb, a couple of stalls, a couple of steep turns, about 20 min of navigation, a PFL, then back to the aerodrome for a circuit or few - one must be flapless and an EFATO is also required. All can be achieved in about an hour.

However, you will need to prepare yourself for the test, so do some dual training first.
