Thanks for this update, and recent posts with sharing more info on the TAS calculations.

I have not checked, but it is probably the case, that you've calculated with an unchanged TAS at FL375 of 390knots....

Looking at the setting of the RTLU at the time of the beginning of UAS a Mach speed of roughly M0,80 seems likely. So we would be back somewhere around the 490kts and ~4000ft.
