As the plane rose, it succumbed to the physics of high-altitude flight: Thin atmosphere offers less lift and robs the engine of air. We dont have any ice..

The empty jet was perfectly capable of meeting these guidelines, but instead of selecting a speed of 250 knots or greater and letting the plane climb at whatever rate resulted, the pilots selected a climb rate of 500 feet per minute and left airspeed as the dependent variable a figure that would prove to be too high under the circumstances. Had they followed proper procedures and set a target airspeed instead of a target rate of climb, they would have been able to fly at 41,000 feet without any trouble, but they did not. Cooper?
