About the questions, the first 2 I'm sorry but I think they are basic PPL stuff... (at least if you had a good PPL instructor!)

1- Gear up, flaps down. You want to take as slow as possible to take minimum damage, and the gear down could cause unwanted effects.
2- CONTROL THE AIRCRAFT!!!!!

Good luck!
Thanks for your message, I get your point.

I have learnt emergency landing somewhere else than Europe, and in case of, it’s better to don’t use the flaps, we should not use them or at the very last to increase the gliding time to have enough time to take the best decision.
I am not saying is wrong, just it can be confusing.

And for the second question you mentioned, I was confuse with “no other options than ditching”, it can be taught that all other options have been processed and no one was good, so now you are sure to crash on water, for me, I let know as much people as I can do my position because if you survive a crash, your surviving time depends on the time spent in the water.

Thanks
