Default Sorry, Not Correct

Carl:

For the same indicated and same altitude, variations in temperature will change the Mach number.

If it is warmer than ISA standard, then the Mach will be lower. Colder, then higher.

Looked at the other way, if always flying Mach 0.80, if warmer than normal, the indicated will be higher, and if colder, the IAS is lower.
