It was difficult to know exactly what IAS would do flying a FL and flying into colder air because the mach would increase because of the colder air and the speed of sound would of course decrease but how much, if any, would this change the IAS? Also would the true altitude change? That is why I did the constant mach example. I don't want to get in to too much physics because then it is too hard to understand. Previous example proves that.
