I reach about 740 knots at 40000 feet. That are about 380 m/s. At sea level, sonic speed is about 340 m/s. I know, that sonic speeds decreases depending on air pressure an temperature. I didn't know, that it decreases that much. Does it mean, that the sonic speed at 40000 feet is about 190 m/s?

Given 190 m/s = 623 ft/s

So 190 m/s must be pretty close.
