Vone Rotate,

You've quoted a CAS/Mach profile of 280 Kt / M0.76

For this speed schedule crossover will occur at Pressure Height of 31189.1 ft, where the Equivalent Airspeed (EAS/Ve) will be 266.7 Kt, and the Static Pressure 284.96 hPa / 8.415"Hg.

Temperature will be..............Who cares? Temperature is not a factor.
Density Height will be............Who cares? Density Height is not a factor.

For a 280 Kt / M0.76 speed schedule, crossover height will be the same EVERY time, regardless of temperature. Different speed schedules have different crossover heights, for example a speed schedule of 280 Kt / M0.78 will always occur at 32473 ft.

TEMPERATURE AND DENSITY IS NOT A FACTOR!
