china pilot medical services

I was a bit unclear about the doctors. Perhaps because I am a bit fuzzy on it myself and have not bothered to check...Either the doctors are CAAC employees who also work for the airlines, or airline employees who work for the CAAC part time..Not sure which, but the same doctors are in the airlines that do the CAAC medicals.

Lets be clear here though. The medicals are thorough, and the limits a bit stricter, but they are not impossilble. I am flying on an age waiver , and still manage a class one...as do thousands of other pilots....class 1 , that is, not the dinasaur waiver.

Dauphene Dude....you mentioned you were young and low time.. Be careful. Rose colored glasses will get you skinned alive in China.
