MN = TAS / LSS

At 35000' ISA temp = -55 degrees C
add 273 to get Kelvin = 218 K
LSS = 38.94 sqr root (Temp K)
LSS = 575

MN = TAS / LSS
0.76 = TAS / 575
TAS = 0.76 x 575
TAS = 437

repeat this at 5000' lower intervals for example to get a plot of TAS with altitude down to 20000'

Use the CRP5 to calculate corrected TAS with altitude from 20000' to 35000' using an IAS of 300 KT
