Aerodynamics...

Hi,

I have been trying to answer a couple of aerodynamic questions the last week but I have found it very hard to find the answers on some of them..
Hopefully some of you guys posses the knowledge that I don't.

1. If you hold a constant Mach during climb out what happens to TAS, IAS and AOA as you approach your level off altitude?

I understand that TAS will increase, I think the IAS will decrease (but not sure why) as far as the AOA I have no clue if it will increase or decrease.

2. Trying to maintain L/D Max what needs to happen with increase in altitude regarding AOA/ IAS?

I really appreciate all help I can get! Been reading of material but still can't find this answers.
