Reference?

You're climbing at a constant Mach. The speed of sound depends only on temperature; so as you climb, the speed of sound decreases and so would your TAS.

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 if you climb at a constant CAS. If you climb at a constant Mach, your TAS will decrease.

Normalabnormal is right.

When did they start paying for hotel in indoc in MSP and at the old Pear Tree INN in STL for sims?

"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?

They've always paid for STL hotels at single occupancy. It's not your base in training...
When's the award come out?

You must've flown into an inversion layer.

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...

Thanks guys, so the correct answer would be decrease in TAS, decrease in IAS and increase in AOA?
