But what if you synchronously, infinitesimally lower the nose and reduce power in a synchronised manner at the same time ?
Thereby reducing pitch and altitude while exactly maintaining speed (IAS) and solwly but surely reducing Mach number ?
Admittedly a purely theoretical excercise.
Hint: The way you got there must be the way you get out of there. Any combination of speed, Mach and altitude you had while climbing should be equally feasible when descending (AoA would be even ever so slightly less upon descent).
But in theory I do not see why it should not be possible.
