Default Change in TAS with constant Power and increasing altitude.

Chris

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.

Point of the sword

Convert all of those TAS numbers to CAS. The airplane will maintain about
the same CAS at a particular percent power setting regardless of altitude.


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.
