Then the special terrain and the fundamental situation of both Chengdu Shuangliu Airport and Lhasa Airport would be introduced. This thesis analyzes the particularity of operating control on plateau route,which is from Chengdu to Lhasa,and lays special stress on analyzing the drift-down program and the related question on route. Considering to the route from Chengdu to Lhasa,this thesis takes aircraft A319-115 as reference. It analyzes the drift-down problem and cabin decompression when one engine is failure. The limiting factors in actual operation are considered as the variable. The purpose of the analysis is to make a further development on the flight safety.

Key words: Chengdu/Shuangliu international airport, Lhasa/Gonggar airport, plateau operation, engine failure, cabin
