At you talking about throtttle setting?. To hold the same % POWER as
you climb, you have to advance the throttle until you get WOT from
which point the % power decreases as you continue the climb.

Convert all of those TAS numbers to CAS. The airplane will maintain

It's my understanding that, that only works for small changes in
altitude. And that the amount of power required to maintan the same
CAS goes up with altitude.
