Default 500 km Triangle at 306 km/hr in Argentina

When you are cruising at 20,000' to 30,000', doesn't the effect of
altitude cause IAS to be substantially less than ground speed?


That is indeed true. However, there are aeroelastic concerns (such as
flutter) which may result in a lower indicated vne at high altitude.
