Last time I flew was 6 months ago (8/09) in a multi-engine aircraft. I haven’t flown single-engines in almost a year, and would like to fly a Cessna 172 within the next month.

A BFR , to take passengers, 3 takeoffs and landings (to a ful stop if flying w/ passengers at night) is all that is necessary to be legal. A few hours with a cfi is prudnet.

A current medical
A current Biannual Flight Review
3 take off and landings
And your CURRENT to take pax

If you haven’t had a flight review in the past 2 years, you’ll need that. You will also need a current medical. Aside from that, you will need to perform at least 3 take-offs and landings in a single-engine plane (full-stop at night if you will be flying at night… and multi-engine takeoffs/landings don’t count for single-engine currency and vice versa). You’re good after that. If all you need is the 3 takeoffs/landings, then you can just go rent a Cessna and do them yourself (assuming you feel confident enough to fly one… otherwise go up for an hour or two with an instructor). This is assuming you will only be flying VFR.

This is the kind of question you should have had in your oral exam when you got your certificate.
Most flight schools or clubs have currency requirements that go beyond what the FAA requires. Check with them. If nothing else go up with an instructor for an hour or two while you are getting back into the grove of things. Once you have done that, and you have met all the legal requirements you should be good to go.

you would need to have a current medical. if you are taking passengers you would need to have done at least 3 touch n go’s during the day within the past 90 days. or at least 3 full stops at night within the past 90 days. if in a tail-wheel they would all have to be full stop. you would also need a biannual flight review. this would be a simple test with an instructor (not even a test) but a quick flight to make sure u are safe.

If you’re going to rent a Cessna 172, you’re going to need to take a pre-rental checkride from the FBO anyway, so why not just roll it all into one flight and complete your BFR and 3 landings at the same time.

I’m doing that right now. I haven’t flown in many years so I’m taking my time getting back up to speed. You need a Biennial Flight Review, which you can do with a CFI. The CFI will go up with and make sure your skills are still up to par. If they aren’t, you’ll do some extra flying before you get signed off. Sounds like you are still current per the regulations (if your medical is still valid), but you do need to do at least 3 take offs and landings in type before you can carry passengers. If you feel like you’re rusty, by all means grab a CFI and go flying. Then you won’t have to worry about a BFR again for a couple years. If you’re renting an aircraft at a flight school/club that you’re not already a member of, they’ll want to make sure you’re competent anyway, so that’s a good time to do the BFR then.
