Reading the various posts about UAS procedures, I have the impression they were all developed for low-level (shortly after T/O) UAS situations. In particular, I see the remarks/instructions about "preventing loss of altitude" (logical at low altitude).

Can anybody here tell this ancient (flight test engineer, not a pilot, and now retired, I should state), whether there are any formal high-altitude UAS procedures in existence (and trained), other than the basic "pitch and power"?
As implied earlier, the nose-up command "reflex" is understandable, if it results from an effort to "stop the altitude loss" in an UAS situation (inapropriate here).
