Indicated airspeed is what matters, if indicated is high enough then cooling will be sufficient.


Why don't you take the time to explain the relationship of Indicated airspeed, True airspeed, and altitude?

Then take some to explain the general behavior of a altitude effects on thrust production at constant power setting and indicated airspeed.

After you have done that, you can sum it all up as:

The higher you go, the less effective the cooling due to pressure and density reduction despite the cooler temperatures.
