With a fixed throttle in a climb
- RPM will increase.
- RPM will remain constant.
- RPM will decrease.
Explanation from PART66Online
With the throttle fixed in a climb, the fuel control holds the scheduled fuel flow while the air becomes thinner and intake temperature falls. The reduced air density lets the compressor spin faster for the same fuel, so the engine RPM tends to increase as the aircraft climbs.
