On the old Tristar (ducks head for incoming) we could choose crit or non crit driftdown depending on if obstacles were a factor. Non crit was for range.
No need for ducking...TriStar had it right long before anyone else.
'Tis a fact...circa 1976, or so. when the first Hamilton Sundstrand FMS units became available.
PFM.
