From my good friend Old Smokey

"CAS / Mach Changeover Height (Given CAS and Mach Number)

Ps / P0 = (((Vc / a0)^2 / 5 + 1)^3.5 - 1) / ((1 + M^2 / 5)^3.5 - 1)

Where -

a0 = ISA Sea Level Speed of Sound (661.4787442 Kt)
Vc = CAS in Knots
M = Mach Number
P0 = ISA Sea Level Pressure (1013.25 hPa)
Ps = Static Pressure at Flight Altitude (hPa)"
