Just wondering if anyone has any idea what I should expect of the ground exams for Taiwan? Are there books I should pick up to prepare for these exams and how difficult are they compared to the North American exams?
I also have to do their medical...if anyone can shed some light as to what to watch for, I would appreciate it!
Thank you folks!
Good luck up there ya big hunk! No mother/ daughter chop-ups
until the study is over,OK!

That is the first I have heard of ground exams in Taiwan. What are they for ? When I worked there ( 1995-1998 ) they just converted my certificate with no questions.
The medical on the other hand is quite thorough. It used to be a two day affair at the CAA medical facility in the terminal at Sungshan. I imagine it is still the same. I can't remember the exact sequence but it includes: Stress EKG, resting EKG, full eye exam, full hearing test, chest x-ray, abdominal x-ray, blood tests, lung capacity, brain wave, and some fun little coordination/depth perception exercises. Essentially, your basic astronaut physical.
Have fun,
