There is another way to figure out your TAS aloft:

Remember that knob on the airspeed indicator and that little scale on the top of it? By rotating that knob the scale at the top will move. Line up the outside air temperature from your thermometer with your current altitude. Look at the pointer on the airspeed indicator and the bottom scale (for most the black numbers on a white background) and there's your true airspeed.
