Can you name 3 airline crashes attributed to "severe control issues" resulting from high altitudes? I can't. Perhaps they could be considered a
factor in AF447 or Air Algerie 5017, but hem maybe not, either. There were a whole bunch of things going wrong with both those flights. All the high altitude loss of control accidents I can think of had something else cause the loss of control.
So I'm coming up short with Airline crashes which can be attributed solely or primarily to "severe control issues" at high altitude.
