Hello aviators
I have a student that got his private licence 30 years ago and wants to get back into using his licence again.
He renewed his medical .
My question is does what does a flight review look like , depends on the pilots experience or does he do all the flight test excercises all over again including the navigation route.
Already asked the cfi but wanted some more opinions.

Go though all exercises. You don't need to do the entire route. It's like a flight test, but yo can break it down into several flights until they're competent on all the exercises.
