Cyrilroy21 : Thanks for the guidance and informative advice.
I am little apprehensive regarding lapsed IR because I have heard different experiences from multiple people. DGCA holds that one cannot start his/her TR training with a lapsed IR, but there have been cases where TR rating was endorsed on the licence with a lapsed IR and there have been other cases where they created trouble for IR lapsed licence holders.
I guess I have to seek information from someone who just did his TR training recently and successfully got it endorsed on his licence.
If any Typerated Pilot who has just got the type rating endorsed recently on his licence by DGCA is going through this thread then please add in your advice and input as it can help me and others as well.
Anticipating an informative and helpful response.
Thanks.
