In addition, according to CCTV News, plateau airports refer to airports with an altitude higher than 1500 meters. Those within the range of 1500 to 2438 meters are general plateau airports, while those at or above 2438 meters are high plateau airports. Plateau airports have thin air, complex terrain, and changeable weather, which impose higher requirements on aircraft performance and operational support capabilities. The altitude of Huatugou Airport, where this test flight was conducted, exceeds 2900 meters and is located in the northwest of Qaidam Basin.
The high plateau test flight of AG600 "Kunlong" fully covered typical operating scenarios of plateau airports, systematically verifying the take-off performance, climbing performance, landing performance, etc., under complex meteorological conditions and at high plateau airports. After receiving the test flight support task, the Huatugou Airport branch attached great importance to it, established a special task force, and arranged 24-hour shift duty from aspects such as runway inspection, real-time monitoring of navigation equipment, meteorological monitoring, and ground service procedures according to the strategy of "one task, one plan", ensuring seamless connection of all links and smooth progress of the test work.
