TAS increases with altitude. That's part of the reason we fly so high. Watch the TAS as you climb at .75- it increases

Tas increases and ias decreases with an increase in altitude

TAS increases if you climb at a constant CAS. If you climb at a constant Mach, your TAS will decrease.
Normalabnormal is right.

Does anyone know the answer to this question, it's in the gouge - and everyone in the gouges is putting a different correct answer, thanks.
"If you hold a constant Mach during climb-out, what happens to TAS, IAS, and AOA as you approach your level-off altitude?"
All 3 decrease?

Here's what I saw this morning...
FL225: Mach .70, TAS 431, SAT -22C
FL275: Mach .68, TAS 412, SAT -33C
FL310: Mach .79, TAS 470, SAT -42C
FL350: Mach .79, TAS 462, SAT -49C
FL370: Mach .79, TAS 451, SAT -54C
The speed of sound measured by the Mach meter went from 616kts at FL225 to 571kts at FL370.
In a climb at constant Mach, decreasing TAS, decreasing SAT (until the stratosphere).

At 35,000 ft, 250 KIAS is approximately 430 KTAS. And the speed of sound at 35,000 on a standard day is 574 knots vs. 661 knots at sea level.
IAS and TAS both decrease with altitude with IAS decreasing at a higher rate than TAS. So as you climb AOA will increase to provide the same amount of lift in a constant MACH climb. At least that's what I think...

You must've flown into an inversion layer.
