Critical Speed on an anologue gauge was low spped up high speed down on approach, the same as a G4, the rest all got it wrong, so much so that G5 Operators were offered an option of changing to the G4 presentation, but l guess in the end its what you get use to.
Pushing down to drag the high speed , rather reminds me of a backcourse on and NDB approach ,Draging the tail of the needle.
Cheers
